<P> The song has been heard by many people ( as `` Froggie Went A-Courtin ' '' ) in the 1955 Tom and Jerry cartoon Pecos Pest , which uses a version arranged and performed by Shug Fisher , in character as `` Uncle Pecos . '' In Pecos Pest , Jerry 's Uncle Pecos stays with him while getting ready for a television appearance , and continues to pluck Tom 's whiskers to use as guitar strings throughout the cartoon . It is an improvised version with many lyrics that are unintelligible , and many changed . For example , he stutters and gives up when he tries to say `` hickory tree '' and says `` way down yonder by the -- , '' stammers out the names of several types of trees , finally settling ( ironically ) on `` eucalyptus '' . He also mentions while continuing the music `` That 's the hard part right in there , n-n-n-n - nephew ! '' and `` there 's a yodel in thar somewhar , but it 's a little too high f'r me . '' </P>
