I have heard this by Bryan Bowers and Rosalie Sorrels.
I believe the lyrics have also been done as "sweet maple sugar"
it is perhaps an after-christmas carol...

Or evwn a pre-Christmas carol, for some people -- especially those who work in retail, and have the job of putting up all those

Dreary Christmas decorations

and have to listen all day to canned Christmas carols, all day, every day for two months...
