description: Performance instructions: "An accompaniment, if added, should merely serve the melody." (Baker, "Introduction") "All so-called 'marks of expression' have been omitted.

According to Gooch and Thatcher (4865), the song is set to an German air. It is in a section called "Flowers and Leaves." The book's introduction states: "The tunes used in the book have been chosen from the most naïve and charming of the old folk songs. [...] They are drawn from many nationalities: American, French, English, Swedish, German, Bohemian, Irish, Danish, Dutch, Lithuanian, Welsh, Russian, Syrian, Finnish, Sicilian. [...] The harmonizations in this book [by Caroline Kohlsaat] are in keeping with the simplicity and delicacy of the tunes. [...] In most instances, the form follows that of the original folk song, with the same rhyme scheme, the same phrasing, and a like simplicity."
