A newcomer sang this cute little song at our song circle last night, but I didn't quite catch the tune. Anybody know a songbook where I could find it, the origins of the song, or alternate versions?

Run Along Home and Jump Into Bed

Now run along home and jump into bed,
Say your prayers and cover your head.
The very same thing I say unto you,
You dream of me, and I'll dream of you.

there's a slightly different version and lots of other camp songs at American Camp Association. The listing in The Freedman Catalogue made me wonder if the song might have Jewish roots.
