About the Folk Song

This lively tune first appeared in American minstrel shows of the 1840s and soon became a popular children’s song. Its playful words and catchy refrain helped it spread through schools and songbooks across the country.

The cheerful rhythm and light-hearted nonsense syllables make it easy to sing and remember. It remains one of the most familiar fun songs from early American folk tradition.
