I've heard somewhere that the well-known tune for "RollYour Leg Over", e.g. as sung by that great Canadian Oscar Brand, is actually that of a Dutch children's song, "Louisa". Any info??

The Mudcat of 3 years ago would have been able to help. I'm sorry to say, that today's Mudcat probably can't.

Would like to be proved wrong.
