Does anyone know the 1950's lyrics and history and/or singer of a song with lyrics like:

Who knows the reason
Why I sing this lullabye
who knows the reason why
who who who
??????
??????
Who will walk with me
Who will talk with me

and that is all I know....I heard this when I was about 5 or 6 yrs old in Edmonton Alberta.

Thanks for this

The song was popular in the ranching country of the Hawaiian Islands. The singer of the song in the link by Masato thought it came off an old phonoraph record- 1930s? Kindy Sproat is dead now, I understand.
Odd to have it show up in Edmonton. I am in Calgary. You are the only respondant in 1 1/2 years.
No idea yet what the history of the song is.
I will tape it for you if you wish.

At the moment I must finish my (hopefully forgiveable) scene of uncharacteristic outpouring of emotion. First...Thanks to both of you for your incredibly quick response as I truly did not expect one at all and second...Yes...please do make a copy of it in any format you wish. Should you have the ability to make a tape - a .wav or mp3 file of it that would be great as well. Like the song "Dream Little Cowboy" (which I have found)these two come from my childhood, don't ask me why but only these 2 have stuck to me like glue and I still sing them both as goodnight lullabyes to our children (they are 13 and 15 and still love them as well). I have been searching for these two songs for about 10 years and in less than 1 hour I have two folks who know well of it.

Thank you so much for this
