Liner notes on on Fuld's recording F-020(d) and Hershel Fox's recording (F-017(a), Sonny Miller and Leo Fuare credited with the text and Sigmunt Berland credited as composer. Same credits are on the Heskes sheet music entry 3383. The text is an adaptation or revamping of Korntayer's "Vu Ahin Zol Ikh Geyn". Nowithstanding the credit to Berland as composer, the melody is the same as Strok's.
