My Old Clay Pipe

Slip jig · 9/8 · A mixolydian

My Old Clay Pipe is a traditional Irish slip jig in nine-eight meter, though its exact geographic origin and composer remain unknown. The tune is typically played in the key of A Mixolydian, featuring the lively, triplet-heavy rhythm and light-footed character essential for traditional step dancing. Because of its obscure history, it has no verifiable historical associations and survives purely as a well-known staple in contemporary traditional music sessions.
