Subject: RE: Does anyone know this story?
This old cumulative folk tale is truly in the public domain; its origin unknown. It is in an Opie book and a 1917 Mother Goose (Marshall) but no indication of age. Early 19th century?
A song version has been collected in Kentucky by Leonard Roberts, but I don't have it. On tape, for sale, www.storydynamics.com
