|f_annotation='''FARE YOU WELL MY SUSAN'''. AKA and see "[[Frog in the Millpond (1)]]." American, Song and Dance Tune (4/4 time). USA, southwestern Pa. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Bayard collected this tune which was used as both a song and dance tune in southwestern Pa. He thinks sounds as  if it may have come from the American minstrel tradition, and gives the ditty his source sang to it:
<blockquote>
''Fare you well, my Susan.''<br>
''Fare you well, my dear.''<br>
''Fare you well, my Susan''<br>
''I'm goin' to leave you here--''<br>
Chorus: <br>
''Frog in the millpond, hoppadoo, hoppadoo,''<br>
''Frog in the millpond, hoppadoodle day.''<br>
''Frog in the millpond settin' on a log,''<br>
''Devil on the hillside gruntin' like a hog.''<br>
