Robert B. Waltz Origins: Come All You Little Streamers (27) RE: Origins: Come All You Little Streamers 11 Jan 25

Steve Roud considers it a version of #18820, which is a fairly amorphous item that seems to mix with "The Streams of Lovely Nancy" and others. Another common title is "(The) Green Mountain." Steve Gardham traces the earliest version of "Green Mountain" to the famous Forget-Me-Not Songster, although the song is also known in Canada and Britain. I can verify versions back to at least 1893.

There are dozens of versions known; search for Roud 18820.
