Historical Note |
|
Musical Note | A march song in duple meter, with some typical characteristics (chromatic inflections, a walking bass), the change of tempo at the refrain (“much slower”) and the colloquial text makes this something of a novelty or even a march ballad. The tune is engaging and the accompaniment skilled, but there are odd errors in the notation, especially of rhythm. |
