Dreydl

[Lori Cahan-Simon <l_cahan...>]

This has been bugging me for years.  Why do the English and Yiddish versions
of "I am a Little Dreydl" and "Ikh bin a kleyner dreydl" have the same tune,
different words (obviously), but have different people listed as being the
composer for each version?  Which came first?  Who is the plagarist?  Who
should be sued and who should be paid?

This can't be a coincidence.
