This is how the world should be, in deep harmony and joy with one another. My grandma always sang this song to me when I was little. Brings back many good memories & makes me smile.
I have been playing this song for my elderly Mum who has dementia but remembers songs from her childhood. I never heard it before last month. I am so in love with this version in particular! Particularly fascinating is that the song originated in Scotland in 1548!
I first heard this song live in Play School in 1950, I was a lot younger then. I've since heard many versions, some with ominous endings. This version is one of my favorites. Thanks for the memories.
As an Appalachian american, I absolutely love this. My summer wedding will be based off of this song and video :) Thank you, Elizabeth Mitchell for providing such a good preview of our amazing culture!
Wonderful bless you all for this! Finally version with lyrics just like grandparents played in the 1950’s They used fiddle banjo mandolin harmonica and guitar West Virginia transplants to Cali in the depression era Best thing ever happened to me was having them as kin
Such an awesome presentation of this old song.....It brings back some wonderful childhood memories......grew up in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains....
I've heard at least 3 different versions of this song so nobody can say their version is the only one, but I love em all! We always played the one that had the "Uh huh's" in it,
Yeah, everybody has their own version. I am trying to find one closest to the one my mom sang for me when I was a child, it was my favorite song for her to sing me.
This is my 3 year old daughter's favorite song. Every time she hears it she says: "I want to play my guitar!" I am so glad EM decided to reinterpret the song. Fantastic song on a fantastic album. EM makes being a parent listening to children's music more than just tolerable. She makes it fun! And, yes, sometimes I seek this song out for myself to listen to, like now for instance.
Had the silly "Crambone" clip from Tom & Jerry stuck in my head and stumbled on this while looking for it. Really love this rendition, pretty cool and want to hear more from this band now.
I am 21 with a 7 month old and we enjoy her music :) So sad lots of children now a days listen to radio music and don't get the chance to listen to actual kids songs
It's called a shruti box. It is a bellows driven free reed instrument in the accordeon family, but it doesn't play melody, just drones or chord drones - changing them mid-play is challenging. But your description's very nice. Luka Bloom called his one 'a musical handbag'.
Elizabeth Mitchell should be wildly famous with how beautiful her voice is, i mean she is a better lyricist than Lady Gaga or Beyonce. This woman's name should be known worldwide based on her talent alone. Sucks that it isn't because she deserves it
James Poston this is originally a Scottish song from 1547 about a French king(frog) attempting to marry an British Queen,probably Mary Stuart.and his courting of her.but I love this American version

This bought such a smile to me and filled my Spirit with Joy. The older songs were simple and happy. My uncle would play the spoons to songs like this
This is the best version of Froggie Went a Courtin' that I've heard.
I love Elizabeth Mitchell. Her voice is pure and full of light. I love using her music for my elementary music classroom!
Suddenly found myself smiling, then realized a warm light inside me.
I'm only here because I got a letter in the mail saying this is the best video on RUclips.
Literally me too
Thank-you so verry much. A touch of happiness in an otherwise cold cruel world!!!
This is how the world should be, in deep harmony and joy with one another. My grandma always sang this song to me when I was little. Brings back many good memories & makes me smile.
Oh my! This is how I want to live. Community, love, celebration, all of it. ❤️❤️❤️

What a beautiful version of this song. Lovely. Made my day.
Oh how I wish I would have discovered Elizabeth Mitchell when my sons were little. What beautiful, tender music.
This makes me so incredibly happy
Me too!!!
Incredibly lucky I am that these triggers actual memories I had almost forgotten, they seemed so far away in different time and world...
I first heard this song live in Play School in 1950, I was a lot younger then. I've since heard many versions, some with ominous endings. This version is one of my favorites. Thanks for the memories.

What a great video.
Wonderful
Beautiful family
Grandma and mom used to sing this... they are from the south
Elizabeth Mitchell should be wildly famous with how beautiful her voice is, i mean she is a better lyricist than Lady Gaga or Beyonce. This woman's name should be known worldwide based on her talent alone. Sucks that it isn't because she deserves it
Aww, I wish I could live such a carefree life
Just when I thought America was in decline I hear this! Come on down out of the holler!
I had to come back to this now!
@@jimmytompkins7750 lololol

The olden times were great
Man, this is beautiful, well done.
Yes., Bravo
The American version
Love it.
pure Americana!
James Poston this is originally a Scottish song from 1547 about a French king(frog) attempting to marry an British Queen,probably Mary Stuart.and his courting of her.but I love this American version
