The phrases and refrains progressively lengthen toward the end of the 

 song. The first part of the third verse was repeated, probably because the 

 singer made a mistake. This may have been due to the fact that she forgot the 

 refrain at the end of the second verse. The refrain in the first rendition of the 

 first part of the third verse has twelve beats like the previous refrain, but the 

 measure lengths are different. The song begins on the first beat, third degree 

 of the scale if the tonality is considered C major. It ends on the same tone and 

 this is the general level.
