The usual minor fluctuations in rhythm, melody and metre are evident. 

 The second de'gree of the major scale is prominent in this tune, which both 

 begins and ends on it. The general level is divided between this and the tonic. 

 The song starts on the last half of the next-to-the-last beat. In two cases the 

 refrain is omitted, but this is very likely due to the talking which broke the last 

 phrase of the verse in one place, and to miscalculation in the other.
