Can Anyone Help with 2 Mexican Kids Songs?

We were sent these two songs from Mexico but can’t find any information about them.  We’re wondering if anyone knows anything about them such as:

Do they have an author or are they anonymously written? 
Approximately how old are they?

Any info about these songs would be very helpful.  Please comment below if you can help.

Thanks in advance! –Mama Lisa

1.  Cuando vayas en casa de peña con la patita le hace la seña
Cuando vayas en casa de peña con la patita le haces la seña
Tortillita de manteca papá que da la teta tortillita de cebada pa’ mamá que no da nada
Tortillita de manteca papá que da la teta tortillita de cebada pa´ mamá que no da nada.

2.  Pita pita carbónero pita pita carbonero
Pues mi madrastra me ha matado por un higo que he robado
Pita pita carbónero pita pita carbonero
Pues mi madrastra me ha matado por un higo que he robado
allá en Jalisco tengo un tocadiscos que dice así
Al que no me baile le hago así.
Una cachetada y un pellizco y de pilón un coscorrón

Feel free to let us know if you know any other versions of these too!
