Here's an early source:

The True Mother Goose - Songs for the Nursery, Or, Mother Goose's Melodies for Children. Notes and Pictures by Blanche McManus. Published by Lamson, Wolffe and Co., Boston. 1895.


My little pink I suppose you think,
I cannot do with out you.
I will let you know before I go,
How little I care about you.
