Sending the midi for this off to the MudCat midi page. This was box 48, item 140 in Levy Sheet Music site.

Syllables match up exactly with the notes for each section of the song.

THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT
Music - James Taylor

1)This is the house
This is the house that Jack Built.

2)This is the rat that ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built

3)This is the cat the kill'd the rat
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built

4)This the the dog
That worried the cat
This is the Cat
That kill'd the rat
This is the Rat that ate the malt
This is the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built.

Somewhere I got a date of 1787 for this, but now I can't find the documentation.
