Houseboat, The

Jig · 6/8 · E major

The Houseboat is a traditional jig in six-eight time set in the key of E major with no verified composer attribution. Because its specific historical origins and early associations remain undocumented, players focus instead on its lively rhythmic character and idiomatic melody. This lighthearted tune is typically performed in a buoyant, flowing style well suited to traditional ensemble and session settings.
