Thanks to Marri Nallos for some amazing singing. The earliest recorded version of the rhyme is in Tommy Thumb&Pretty Song Book, published in London around 1744, which uses the opening line: &Dickere Dock'. The next recorded version in Mother Goose&Melody (c. 1765), uses &Dickery Dock'. The rhyme is thought by some commentators to have originated as a counting-out rhyme. Some reports claim that the rhyme was written by Oliver Goldsmith, in Dublin for a volume of nursery rhymes he was collecting. As with many other nursery rhymes, there are two substantially different melodies, one associated with Great Britain and the other with North America.
