SMITHSOXIAX MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. -JJ 



If it should let go, the water would flow over everything, 



These eight hold back the water. 



The big barrel lies on the ground, 



All the little streams from the mountains come to the top of it. 



The salt water barrel comes to see the fresh water barrel. 



Many big animals from the mountains come to see the fresh water barrel. 



The little streams from the mountains come to see the fresh water barrel.

The rendition of this song covered almost two cylinders and was 

 about 15 minutes in duration. In the first portion the keynote was 

 the highest and most prominent tone, but in the middle and latter 

 portions the lowest tone of the compass was the most prominent. 

 The opening phrase and a characteristic phrase from the latter portion 

 are here presented, with a portion of the words. 



Many pretty flowers, red, blue and yellow. 



We say to the girls, " Let us go and walk among the flowers." 



The wind comes and sways the flowers, 



The girls are like that when they dance. 



Some are wide-open, large flowers and some are tiny little flowers. 



The birds love the sunshine and the starlight. 



The flowers smell sweet, 



The girls are sweeter than the flowers. 



I go among the girls and see them all, 



But I like only the one I walked with first, 



My eyes are open for her but I look at the others as though I were dreaming, 



I say to her, " When I die you must think of me all the time." 



I look at the others as though I were dreaming. 



The girl is dreaming too.
