answering my own question.

"Colly bird?”

It’s essentially a black bird.

Although both “calling” and “colly” have appeared in versions of the song, “colly,” which is derived from the Old English word for coal, predates “calling” by more than a century.

My mind is filled with absolutely useless information, which sucks because I could really use that headspace for math...

Linguistically speaking it likely derived from the term 'coaly' or to appear covered in coal...
