"With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm"
By Bill Burns

Jody, The only reference I can find is that the music and words are
in this book:

  "Boomps-a-daisy -- 40 Singable Songs", compiled by Peggy Blakeley;
  1986, London : A & C Black; ISBN: 0713656115 (paperback)

The web site of A & C Black doesn't list the title, nor is it available
used.  However, the San Joaquin Valley Library System in California has
a copy, and will make a copy available through any California public
library.  See http://www.sjvls.lib.ca.us/cgi/songs_03/FCFL0002 and
http://www.sjvls.lib.ca.us/sjvls/songs/who.html

Regards,

Bill Burns
Long Island, NY, USA
