Jame pierport was given the credit for writing the “song “ in the mid 1800’s , as he put a whistle and words to the tune , but it was a Germanic dance tune , written of the squeeze box and danced in public house in Europe from a about 1709 ,

@Wishingwellguy Interesting. We have a videotape at home of what looks like a 1950's cartoon to the tune of Jingle Bells, and the music does sound as if it is being played on a squeezebox or accordion.
