Monique, that sent me looking through my old records and I found the Mills-Baillargeon recording in the 9-LP set of "Canadian Folk Songs, A Centennial Collection" released in 1967. Hadn't looked at it in years.

The Note says: "In this old Acadian riddle-song, a seven-year old boy on his way to school is met by a "stranger" (presumably Satan in disguise) who seeks to confound the lad with a series of riddles. But the boy successfully answers all the riddles put to him by the passing stranger, and thus succeeds in escaping the trap."
Side A, number one.
