Analysis —The rhythm of this song is peculiar but was accu- 
rately given in both renditions. In melodic material the song com- 
prises only five tones and is analyzed as having C as the keynote, this 
placing the song on the fourth five-toned scale. The structure of the 
song is melodic with harmonic framework. Twenty-two progres- 
sions occur, 15 of which are descending intervals,
