This tune has a great pulse to it: DUM dee dum-dee-dum, DUM dee dum-dee-dum.

If you're playing this on fiddle, try getting some drones in by playing the open E or A string where possible.

Key signature - shouldn't this be A mixolydian?

'Cos it starts and ends on an A, and every time I play that G-natural it sounds odd (good odd, that is).

I s'pose it doesn't matter much, seeing as the key signatures are the same.

By the way, I was reading this music history book and it said that back in the day "folk musicians" were the only ones who didn't bother putting their tunes in the standard modes. And now nobody else uses them.

Ta ta.
