Thread Name: Origins: Jacob's Ladder precede Woodpecker Song?
Subject: Origins: Jacob's Ladder precede Woodpecker Song?

I have recently started learning both of these songs and have noticed the obvious similarities between them. Jacob's Ladder(English Carol) and The Woodpecker Song are uniquely similar. Which one came first The Woodpecker(English also) or Jacob's Ladder?
