Squeezed underneath the title is 'As sung by Miss Dolly Donaldson'. The music is in D major, and common time (C), in the usual arrangement of violin/voice part, and the piano part for two hands. The Harp and Claymore version added two bars: the first bar bass repeated as a one-bar introduction, and, to finish, a 'Last time' bar with a single bass D. 'D. C.' (Da Capo) returned the singer to the beginning for the remaining verses. Only the first verse is set here. Compare this with JSS0064, JSS0577.
