Analysis —This song has the same words as No. 71, a song of the 
Buffalo Society. A similar duplication of words is noted in the anal- 
vsis of No. 58. The interval of a fourth comprises almost half the 
progressions in the present song, occurring an equal number of times 
in ascending and descending progression. The song is harmonic in 
structure and the melody tones are those of the minor triad and sev- 
enth. Three renditions were recorded, showing slight and unim- 
portant differences. The transcription is from the second rendi- 
tion.
