Yiddish song?

[Judy Pinnolis <pinnolis...>]

Can someone help with this?  Judy


Hi,  I'm trying to locate an old Yiddush Song for my Father.  He is turning 
82.  He grew up on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.  He keeps describing the 
following song:

" Shikhelekh "

This version of the song is about a little boy who owns a pair of shoes, 
however, they have holes in them.  It's raining out and the boy sings to his 
mother that he needs new shoes.

Have you heard anything like this?  Or can you lead me to someone who can 
assist in this matter?

Shalom,

Ben Schreiber
