Jig · 6/8 · D dorian

The tune is characterized by its lively triple meter and rhythmic drive, which are well-suited to the spirited style of traditional Irish and Scottish dance music. Because of its uncertain historical background, it is best known today through its circulation in modern session playing rather than any specific historical association.
