where did the song its raining its pouring come from
It's Raining, It's Pouring The first two lines of this rhyme can be found in The Little Mother Goose, published in the US in 1912.[2] The melody most often associated with it is the same as "A Tisket, A Tasket", which is in the public domain. The earliest known audio recording of the song was made in 1939 in New York by anthropologist and folklorist Herbert Halpert and is held in the Library of Congress.[3] It was noted in 1939 in New York by Charles Ives (1874â€“1954) and a version of it was copyrighted in 1944 by Freda Selicoff.[4]
