The renditions differ very slightly, in some the second count of the first measure being omitted. It will be noted that this omission makes the two parts of the song alike. The progressions are 30 in number, 26 being minor thirds and 4 major thirds, yet G is the implied keynote of the melody. The song begins and ends on the same £ one, which is imusual. ( See No. 37.)
