FLINTLOCK. English, Country Dance Tune (4/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Flintlock" is a version of "Lord Moira," which has a number of name variants. Samuel Bayard collected a version of this tune from the playing of an elderly Missouri fiddler in 1949, who called it "Jenny Put the Kettle On (2)." See note for "annotation:Lord Moira" for more on this large tune family.
