I believe this game is very old and originated in Great Britain.

Olli Olli oxen free is really "All ye All ye walks in free" said very fast
with a stong lower-class British accent. To an American ear it would sound like
All e All e aux in free when said quickly.

With a lower-class British accent, the "w" gets dropped in "walks" as
does the "y" in "ye." Try it a few times and you will see what I mean.
Yep... told ya that on page 1
