Tom Hark

Hornpipe · 4/4 · G major

Tom Hark is a well-known 1957 tune composed by South African musician Blind Blake, which he originally recorded with his band the Cooktown Leopards. Written as a lively hornpipe in 4/4 time and the key of G major, it features an infectious, bouncing rhythm and a cheerful character that has made it a popular staple in both traditional and pop contexts. The tune achieved widespread mainstream success when it was adopted as the theme song for the television series The Adventures of Aggie and later became a famous football stadium chant in the United Kingdom.
