I am looking up info about it as I type. I have a copy of "We Sing", the fourth volume in a series of texts call "A Singing School". It appears to be a second edition with publication dates 1940 and 1953 through C.C. Birch and Company. The editors were Theresa Armitage, Peter W. Dykema, and Gladys Pitcher, and advisory editors were Charles H. Farnsworth and Herman F. Smith. The only information given, aside from lyrics and notes on a staff, is that its an Irish game song. I wish it gave more info.
