Girl Of The House, The

Jig · 6/8 · D mixolydian

The Girl of the House is a traditional Irish double jig that has circulated widely among traditional musicians for generations without a verified composer or specific early historical association. Written in the key of D Mixolydian with a standard 6/8 meter, the tune features an upbeat, lively character driven by a steady rhythmic pulse suited for both social dancing and instrumental performance. Due to the lack of definitive historical records, its precise geographic origin remains uncertain, though it has long been a staple of session repertoires across Ireland and beyond.
