Tune of the Week #96: The Padlock



A simple tune from Robert Ross's 1780 collection.

• Standard Notation with chords
  
• Standard notation with mandolin tablature
  
• MP3 of me playing The Padlock on mandolin

I'm assuming it's a jig?

No key changes I see but you usually only need one for a padlock.
I'll look forward to playing the tune on some lovely wee foot bridge somewhere.

Nice wee tune, Nigel, and I was just looking for something new! 

I have been off-line since about mid November when my wife, Elaine, passed away very suddenly and totally unexpectedly at home here.

Thanks for posting.

I'm also very sorry to hear about your loss too, John. However, music can be a great comfort during dark times.

Thanks, both, for your kind thoughts.  I have been finding that music (playing and listening) is indeed a useful solace at this time.
