It became popular in the 1920s and 1930s as children's camp song. In 1939, Adele Girard and Joe Marsala wrote a revised version with a new arrangement and additional verse; the revised version was recorded by at least 22 artists in 1939, including versions by Horace Heidt, Bing Crosby, Gene Autry, Doris Day, Guy Lombardo, and other big bands. It became one of the biggest hits of 1939 and has since been covered by additional artists, including Jonah Jones with Roy Eldridge, Jerry Lewis, Louis Prima, Joe Williams, The Bonzo Dog Band, and The Wiggles.
==Original version== John Sylvester Fearis, the original composer, came to Chicago from Iowa in the early 1900s and was known principally as the composer of hymns and sacred music. He composed "Little Sir Echo" in approximately 1917 with Laura Rountree Smith of Wisconsin writing the lyrics.<ref name=Old/> No known recordings have been found of the original version.<ref name=second/> Fearis and his brother owned a music publishing firm and bought the rights to the verse from Smith. The Fearis brothers then published the song in a collection of "unison songs for Children."<ref name=Old/> It was also included in "The Song Book of the Y.W.C.A" in 1926,<ref>{{cite book|title=The Song Book of the Y.W.C.A.|publisher=The Woman's Press|year=1926|pages=34-35|url=https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Song_Book_of_the_Y_W_C_A/Qaw4AQAAIAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22little+sir+echo%22&pg=PA36&printsec=frontcover}}</ref> and it became a popular camp song and sing-along in the 1920s and 1930s.<ref>{{cite news|title=Little Sir Echo|newspaper=Pasadena Star-News|date=November 3, 1925|page=12|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/pasadena-star-news-little-sir-echo/195715536/|via=Newspapers.com}}</ref><ref name=Echo>{{cite news|title="Little Sir Echo" A Camp Favorite|newspaper=The St. Catharines Standard|date=October 5, 1926|page=11|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-standard-little-sir-echo/195715190/|via=Newspapers.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=With the Girl Guides|newspaper=The Ottawa Journal|date=February 27, 1932|page=20|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-ottawa-journal-little-sir-echo/195715388/|via=Newspapers.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Music Appreciation|newspaper=The Robeson County 4-H Camper|date=September 19, 1938|page=2|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-robesonian-little-sir-echo/195715875/|via=Newspapers.com}}</ref>
==Girard and Marsala adaptation== Swing harpist and songwriter Adele Girard remembered the song from her youth singing around the campfire as a Girl Scout in Massachusetts. In the late 1930s, Girard and her husband Joe Marsala, a swing clarinetist and the leader of the orchestra in which Girard played, collaborated on a "modernized" version of the song with a new arrangement and an extra verse. They introduced their new version of the song at the Hickory House in New York, and it was then published.<ref name=Old>{{cite news|title='Little Sir Echo' Re-Echoes Song of Old|newspaper=Rochester Times-Union|agency=Associated Press|date=July 22, 1939|page=5|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-times-union-little-sir-echo/195716634/|via=Newspapers.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Holyoke Girl Helped Revive Song Hit "Little Sir Echo": Adele Girard Aided in Writing Modernized Version of Song Once Chanted by Children|newspaper=The Springfield Union|date=July 21, 1939|page=12|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/springfield-evening-union-echo/195717627/|via=Newspapers.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Adele Girard: Her prominent niche in jazz is assured|newspaper=The Desert Sun|date=July 11, 1986|page=E1|url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-desert-sun-girard/195718876/|via=Newspapers.com}}</ref> The new version was released in January 1939 by Horace Heidt and was covered the same year by multiple artists, including Bing Crosby, Guy Lombardo, Doris Day, Mantovani, Bebe Daniels, and Eddy Howard.
