A Lincoln Jumprope Rhyme

RE: A Lincoln Jumprope Rhyme
When I heard the jump rope rhyme as recited by my patient I had two impressions:
1) It was a fascinating instance where Lincoln made it into the culture to the level of children's games and playtime activities, although certainly not applied for such like-activities today (I suppose).
2) Perhaps using the name "Lincoln" had it's roots in the historical fact that he was a teetotaler-and that truth had a collective memory which filtered into the children's activity.

Then the name "Reuben" was shared by Forum members here on this thread. It would be interesting to know where that name entered into it and why.
