Thread Name: Put Your Little Foot
Subject: Put Your Little Foot
I am interested in the children's song known to me (a chronologically advanced US-born American) as "Put Your Little Foot."   A cursory internet search this morning turned up two easily found lead sheets, one of which seemed to be the tune familiar to me. (I don't read sheet music fluently, at best I glean information one piece at a time.) According to what I read, the tune is found from Arkansas to New Mexico.

Possibly it comes from Poland, by way of France: an earlier version is called "La Varsovienne", which supposedly means, woman from Warsaw.

Does anyone know anything more about the origins, or earlier versions, of this little dance tune? Thanks!
