Tom's

Slip jig · 9/8 · G major

Tom's is a traditional Irish slip jig set in 9/8 meter and composed in the key of G major. Because its specific historical origins, composer, and early associations are not documented, the tune is best defined by its lively rhythmic drive and characteristic compound-triple bounce. In performance, musicians typically favor a light, fluid phrasing that accentuates the lilting three-beat groupings native to the slip jig form.
