<P> The use of the terms "lassie" and "laddie" mean that this song is often attributed to possible origins in Scotland (by various forms of media; see "references" section), but it was first collected in the United States in the last decade of the nineteenth century and was not found in Great Britain until the mid-twentieth century . However, it can be surmised that the words to the song may have come from Scottish immigrants or Scottish - Americans because of the aforementioned terms . </P> <P> Along with "The More We Get Together", it is generally sung to the same tune as "Oh du lieber Augustin", a song written in Germany or Vienna in the late seventeenth century . </P> <P> It was first published in 1909, in Games for the Playground, Home, School and Gymnasium by Jessie Hubbell Bancroft . </P> <P> The song is often accompanied by a circle singing game . Players form a circle and dance around one player . When they reach the end of the verse they stop, the single in the middle performs an action (such as Highland dancing), which everyone then imitates, before starting the verse again, often changing the single player to a boy, or a boy can join the center player - thus creating an extra verse in the song ("Did you ever see some children ..."). </P>
