My Mom used to sing the same thing. I understood that it was an Irish song that she learned from her mother. The words as I remember them are:

"Only me, only me, sobbing a wearysome tire.
Grant that an innocent baby's heart should melt so tenderly.
One got the kisses and kindly words,
And that one was her pet Marie.
One told her troubles to the bees and birds,
And that one was Only Me."

I always thought that "Tire" was a sort of song, but I can't find a reference anywhere.

Your other verse seems familiar, but I don't remember it as well. I will ask my siblings.
