There is a version of this song on the CD "We died in Hell - they called it Paschendaele" which I just recommended in a thread entitled "Lest we forget . ." It's reduced to three and a half verses, and the notes on it say:

Martin Rosenberg was a Polish Jewish musician who wrote this version of an old Jewish nursery rhyme during his imprisonment in Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Before the war he conducted a working men's choir in Neukoeln, near Berlin. In 1939 he was arrested for being a Socialist and sent to Sachsenhausen. As soon as he had recovered from being tortured there he set up a clandestine choir of some 25 Jewish inmates who together performed in secret. When it became known that the Jews of Sachsenhausen were being transported to Auschwitz, Rosenberg wrote this grim evocation of the gas chambers.

In 1942 Rosenberg and his choir were, indeed, moved to Auschwitz where they all lost their lives in the course of the following year. Just before his transportation Rosenberg passed on his song to the Polish political prisoner Alex Kulsiewizc and asked him - if he survived - to tell the world, through this song, of the extermination camps. Kulsiewizc did survive and he kept on singing until his final days in 1982. A short while before his death he, in turn, passed the song on to Shoshana Kalisch.

Shoshana, herself a survivor of Auschwitz, is the performer of the song on the CD.

And if you want the words of this version (English, Flemish or - presumably - Yiddish) they're in the CD booklet, so you'll have to do yourself the favour of buying it - it's a purchase you won't regret!
