I do not see a lexical relation between Segen and soli in German or a German dialect.
But that's a very far-fetched idea. Villagers did not usually integrate Latin terms they heard in church into their everyday vocabulary.

Famous exceptions are sacramentum and crucifixum which both are used as curse words Sakrament! But I have never met such a Latin church derivative in nursing rhymes. I am not sure about this idea. Having grown up in the Swabian South-West with part of my family being farmers and active users of dialect I first thought: On second thought, however, one could indeed imagine that there once was a verse like "Sodele, sodele, sodele" which got distorted over time by users of the language detached from the area emigrant-settlers to Eastern Europe in 18th century?
Or perhaps the grandmother said actually "sodele", but Emma who asked just wrote it down as "soli" because she is not aware of a word "sodele"? Written soli would be pronounced quite similar to what speakers of South-West German dialects say for "soll ich".
- Heile heile Kelwedreck!
- Blood Ties: A Bishop/Special Crimes Unit Novel (A Bishop/SCU Novel Book 12)?
- Rise, My Soul, and Stretch Thy Wings.
However, I struggle to fit "soll ich" into the context of the nursery rhyme. A short search with one of our preferred look-stuff-up machines brought this variant of the same nursery rhyme:. If "drolli" is a name it must be "Meine liebe" if drolli is female or "Mein lieber" if drolli is male.

Translation of "Heile heile Gänsje" in English
Could you add information when what year, approximately your ancestors left the Black Forest region, and where they went? DWDS links to a Grimm entry for droll. Not sure, whether it is relevant for drolli , but in case someone wants to do more research here: I don't know if it helps, but a common - and not unsimilar - phrase or verse used in such situations is Heile, heile Segen drei Tage Regen drei Tage Sonnenschein 's wird bald wieder besser sein.
