I was going to see what Jean Ritchie might mention on her website, but it is down. I did find the table of contents for Folk Songs of the Southern Appalachians as sung by Jean Ritchie. There is one listed which I am not familiar with, but by the title it might be a good one for this: "Itty Bitty Baby: Chidlren Go Where I Send Thee." Just a guess, though.

OOPS, just figured out it is a Chrismas song. Sorry.
