Goat On The Green

Jig · 6/8 · E minor

Goat On The Green is a traditional Irish jig in six-eight meter and the key of E minor, though its specific geographic origin and composer remain unknown. The tune features the bouncy, flowing rhythm characteristic of traditional jigs, making it well suited for lively contra dance and session playing. Because its early history is unrecorded, musicians approach the melody with regional ornaments and variations common to contemporary Irish traditional performance practice.
