If one of the copyright credits was Bahamian then it could have originated as a West Indian folk song. I don't personally know of any versions earlier than 1932 though. It also seems to have some relation to "Mama don't 'low" which is a US folk song as far as I know. It's played by Mento bands and appears in a Jamaican folk song anthology I have.
