From "Children's Games and Rhymes," edited by Paul G. Brewster, Arno Press, New York, 1976:

"Contributed by Antoinette Beasley, Monroe [North Carolina]. Reported from Union County."

Little boy, little boy, who made your britches?
Ma cut 'em out and Pa sewed the stitches.

Little boy, little boy, where'd you get your knowledge?
