This is the book to look at.  I once consulted it at the YIVO in NY, so I 
know that it has a copy.

Essay with original Yiddish Folk Text Underlay. Tel Aviv: World Council for 
Yiddish and Jewish Culture and Ministry of Culture, 1989. 162 pp., 1tbl., 4 
mus. ex. ( in English, Russian, Hebrew and Yiddish).
