It's a 3 line simple childrens piece, and I want to be able to explain that it is written in a mode (I'm pretty sure it is?) but I'm not sure which one. The key signature is D minor but all the B's have natural accidentals in front of them. The last line has C#s. Where do they come from? Any theory buffs know the piece I'm talking about and able to help me out here?
