The rhyme is believed to have originated in the United States and became popular as a cumulative folk song sung in homes, schools, and camps. Since it was shared orally for a long time, there is no confirmed single writer connected to the song. Versions of the rhyme appeared in folk music collections during the early twentieth century, helping it spread to classrooms and children\u2019s music albums. Its repetitive structure and easy melody made it especially popular among teachers and parents who wanted a fun learning activity for young children.
