"Why Should I be Jealous?" (Catalogue no. 104) Sung by Mrs. Mee Voice J = 88 Recorded without drum ^^m o - den - da - ma - ban. -•- -t5> ma - dja-kwi - wi - ja - sis Nabi^sa Why should NinMoma' I, even I Geoden^damaban^ Be jealous MadjakwiVijasis^ Because of that bad boy? This song is not without its humorous side. It is said that in the old times an Indian maid would lie face down on the prairie for hours at a time singing this song, the words of which are so very independent and the music so forlorn. The song was as often sung by a young man, the words being appropriately changed. Analysis.—This is one of the few songs in which the key is fully established, as is shown by the fact that it can be readily accom- panied by the three principal-chords of the key of A. It is said to be a very old song and to be commonly used in recent times. The latter fact suggests that continuous use under semicivilized conditions may have modified the form of the melody to its present regularity of time and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Smithsonian Institution.
