Buttermilk Mary

Jig · 6/8 · G major

Buttermilk Mary is a traditional Irish jig in the key of G major with a standard 6/8 meter. Because the composer and exact historical origins are not recorded, the tune is best known through traditional session playing rather than specific historical events. Musically, it features a lively and bouncing character that invites energetic ornamentation and rhythmic drive typical of standard dance repertoire.
