This charming, simple American folk song about a warm-hearted farmer hasbeen freely adapted to become a secular Christmas song. The mixolydian accompaniment ventures beyond diatonicism to accompany the stepwise hexatonic melody. Embedded in the piano part are quotations of a familiar carol which has been altered in mode and in meter.
