That, and more, may be found through the link Ed provided earlier in this thread. It's unlikely that Hey Ho has any connection at all to any of the Souling/Soulcaking songs (which belong to All Souls rather than Christmas), other than that Peter Paul and Mary thought it would be nice to stick Ravenscroft's round together with one -possibly two- of them, along with another unrelated verse from a carol. It may have been someone else a little earlier, but the fact that PP&M appear to claim copyright in the song suggests to me that that was> them.
