"Little Mohee" is an American ballad that is also known in Ireland and Canada. Kittredge describes this as a "chastened" (i.e. bowdlerized) American reworking of a British broadside, "The Indian Lass". Some think that the American version is superior to the British. Some sources consider the American version original; it then became a sea song, with the girl transformed from a "Mohee" to a resident of Maui and the British version descends from that. Belden concurs at least to the extent of calling it a sea song and saying "that the 'Indian lass' is a denizen not of America but of the South Seas". The tune is a variant of "On Top of Old Smokey". It was printed in Randolph as "The Pretty Mohee", Brown as "Little Mohea", Belden as "Little Mohea" and The Burl Ives Songbook as "Little Mohee". It was recorded by Buell Kazee, Riley Puckett, Ernest Stoneman and His Dixie Mountaineers, Burl Ives and others.
