This song, don't know where my brother found it, years ago, but it's absolutely wonderful. It's the only version I've heard, and I can't imagine hearing a better one. Even still, ears are open.

Jenny Jenkins is a very old song. The earliest recorded text version was published in 1823. It's thought that the song was popular during the latter part of the eighteenth century,. For more information on this song & related songs Google Cocojams Children's Rhymes And Cheers. Jenny Jenkins, Jane Jenkins & Miss Jenia Jones are all acknowledged versions of this song. Imo, the playground rhyme Aunt Jenny Died also comes from that song.
i learned at school it was just rolda-folda-tilda-tolda, not foldy-roly-tildy-toldy what is right!!!!????????????

@eipoeipo They both work. Its just a matter of what you like. The little tweaks in American folk music are what keeps things interesting.
