Nipmuck trail blue dots

Froggy went a courtin and he did ride
stamp and ink pad by his side uh-huh.

Froggy went a ridin to rte 89 uh-huh
Parked at Southeast ballfields then uh-huh
Entered the trail on other side of road, when down in the woods I'm
told, uh-huh

Froggy went from woods to service road uh-huh
Crossed the road and headed down in uh-huh
trail turned left and he did too uh- huh
Walked along and saw a great dike, cement flood gate was in his site
uh-huh.

Froggy crossed two small wood bridges uh-huh
Froggy walked to a 4way cross, turned right on blue dot then uh-huh
Turned right twice saw blue dot on post uh-huh
white pine on left and down the slope uh-huh

DEP posted No Vehicle sign uh-huh
Mount Hope moved here in 99 uh-huh
crossed steel trusses to the white pine uh-huh
Froggy turned left now the pine stands behind moving on the trail now
uh-huh

Froggy took the trail as it went left uh-huh
Climbed up through the pretty white pine uh-huh
Followed path through Hemlocks now river far below him now uh-huh

Froggy went apast an old meadow now uh-huh
Weeds a growin now no mowin now uh-huh
Trail turns left at an old cedar tree and through a ironwood you will
see uh-huh

Froggy sees the trail turn left uh-huh
your second iron bridge to cross uh-huh
from Cider mill to here it came in 97 the river to tame uh-huh

Froggy followed the blue dots right uh-huh
grapevines and a blue dot here
up and down by the river near uh-huh

Froggy went a walkin and he did hike meadow on left
river on right uh-huh
Big old house across the river he spied stayed with the trail along
river he'd glide uh-huh

Froggy saw a log on the trail up ahead uh-huh
Big around as a pumpkin he said uh-huh
then the trail came to cross a path he stopped uh-huh
We're close to the spot now see if we can think it out now uh-huh

Froggy thought the hill ahead went straight to heaven he said uh-huh
When no ones comin climb that hill uh-huh
look for a stump big as can be uh-huh
What you seek is hiding there, stamp it quiet, replace it there uh-huh

Froggy went a courtin and he did hide
a letterbox here with great pride uh-huh
Froggy says to head on home uh-huh
Gathered your stamp now on you go keep on going to a road or back you
go uh-huh.

Froggy went a round trip and he did say 2 hours out of your day uh-huh
So pack a snack and take the trip find the letterbox stamp up quick
uh-huh. Here the parks are very nice, we hope you had some fun
besides uh-huh.

Froggy went a courtin and he did ride uh-huh!

How cute!. My kids and I love that song. I wish we had the interest in
Illinois that you all enjoy on the east coast! Maybe someday. :o)

Happy hunting
