Thanks to Everyone here for providing the lyrics to this ancient ditty. I had only a vague memory of my older brothers singing this around the house when I was a baby back in the mid 40s, and strangely enough today I remembered a few of the words but not the music. I did this search not really expecting to find much because I didn't have much to go on, and here it is. Having the actual music would give my younger brother and I a few more moments of fond distant memories of loved ones no longer with us and so is the object of my next search. Thanks again.
