Michal Gelbart wrote this in Yiddish, and Solomon Goldfarb
wrote the English lyrics.  The Yiddish original appears in
"Yontefdige Tag" published by the Workman's Circle.

Levin Kipnis, I'm pretty sure.  There's a singable English
version in Tara Publication's "New Children's Songbook"
which actually is also a very accurate translation.

I'm at home and my books are at the shul, but I will try
to remember to double-check the "Ner Li" composer.
