Description:
Jolly Old St. Nicholas is a Christmas song. Its authorship is often credited to Wilf Carter. However, since the song is mentioned in earlier works (such as Susan Gregg`s Christmas Orphans, pub. 1916), this attribution is unlikely. The song has also been credited to Benjamin Hanby, author of "Up on the House Top", at some point in the 1860s, although this too may be in dispute.
