Hello,

I am writing from the Malden, Mass., Public Library with a library user's query, which is,

What is the title and composer of the folk song (?) from the 30s which began:

"Today is the day they give babies away for half a pound of tea / If you know any ladies that want babies, send them up to me."

Any information you have would be appreciated.

Melissa Mitchell Information Librarian Malden (Mass.) Public Library
