Is this the one that starts "Three little drummers stood on the hugh ground
They marched all about and they circled around
When they were abreast, three in a line
Then off they did go for to follow the sign."

If so, it was written(I believe) by Bob "Fiddler" Beers of the Beers Family, and it's on their Christmas album, put out by Columbia Records sometime before 1967.
