about

“The Bullfrog” adapted by Red Yarn from the traditional version, as published in Henry Spalding’s Encyclopedia of Black Folklore and Humor (1972). New lyrics by Andy Furgeson, 2015.

lyrics

Well, my bullfrog jumped
In the middle of the spring
I ain’t gonna weep no more
I held him tight but he slipped my cling
I ain’t gonna weep no more

So I went fishing at the catfish hole
I ain’t gonna weep no more
But the catfish snapped and he broke my pole
I ain’t gonna weep no more

Fare thee well, my children
I’ll join that heavenly band
Where there ain’t any weeping any more
Fare thee well, my children
I’ll join that heavenly band
Where there ain’t any weeping any more

La la la la la la la la la la
I ain’t gonna weep no more…

Well, my grandpa died when I was nine
I ached and I weeped and moaned
My heart was heavy while the sun did shine
But I ached and I weeped and moaned

When the bullfrog jumps
In the middle of the spring
I ain’t gonna weep no more
Just let him go, smile and sing
“I ain’t gonna weep no more”

Fare thee well, my children…
