kishka
If you heard it as a part of song among Polish immigrants it could possibly be kishka.
kishka (in Polish - kiszka) is a kind of food. maybe in the USA it lookks as Merriam-Websters dictionary describes:
"Main Entry: kish·ke
Variant(s): also kish·ka /'kish-k&/
Function: noun
Etymology: Yiddish kishke gut, sausage, of Slavic origin; akin to Polish kiszka gut, sausage
Date: circa 1936
: beef or fowl casing stuffed (as with meat, flour, and spices) and cooked "
In Poland it is porcine gut filled with groats and pig's blood, cooked, sometimes cooked and fried. I tastes horribly...
