Go Tell Aunt Rhody is a traditional American folk song dating back to the 1800s.

"Go Tell Aunt Rhody" is a traditional American folk song whose origins are obscure but likely date back to the 19th century or earlier. Its melancholic and simple melody has made it enduringly popular. It was famously used as the theme "La Ronde" in the video game "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard," which introduced it to a new global audience. The version here features a completely new German text by Dagmar Urban and Burkhard Mikolai, transforming it into a gentle lullaby titled "Komm, lass uns träumen" ("Come, let's dream").
