Thank you to Joe Offer for all of that info. At this point this song isn't in the Mudcat database. I actually saw this in a Kodaly school music group, and they were looking for more information on its origins. They knew it as traditional, but were hoping for more sourcing. I thought that Mudcat might be a place where more may be known about it, so I asked about it here.
