The music of this song is certainly of the prelude type, for the first phrase 

 of the first verse, A, is not again repeated, but a new phrase, C, takes its place 

 in the subsequent verse parts until the third verse, after which D is used. The 

 second phrase of the verse parts is taken from the second phrase of the first 

 part of verse 1 or the musical prelude. It is rather unusual that the refrain 

 should also be modelled on this phrase. Another peculiarity about the first 

 verse is that it lacks both refrain and connective. The second verse follows a 

 set plan, but in the third we have what is probably an error, the refrain wrongly 

 given or an unusual pause for breath so that it is repeated. The remainder of 

 the third verse is regular. In the fourth the refrain is omitted in the first half. 

 Verse five again is irregular in that the first phrase of the first half is given 

 twice, perhaps because of the irregularity in the first rendition which was un- 

 intentional. Evidently this singer is more conscientious than the majority. 

 The connective preceding the fifth verse is a little shorter than customary. 



The song begins on the sixth of the major or the tonic of the minor, with 

 the first beat of the measure. The end is on the fifth degree of the major or the 

 seventh of the minor. The level of the song is divided between these two tones.
