Hillee millee Punyah...? Hindi, maybe?

English author Constance Savery (1897-1999) was sung a lullaby by her mother, who remembered it from her own childhood in India around 1860. In 1973, Savery recollected the words as going something like "Hillee millee Punyah, jaree an anNUDeeyar" and thought that it meant something like "Down by the river, oh!"

Does this sound at all familiar to anyone?
