KATY'S RAMBLES. AKA and see "Clancy's Jig (2)," "Lady's Triumph (3)." Irish?, Jig (6/8 time). D Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The minor-key variant of "Katy's Rambles" seems confined to the Boston-based Elias Howe music publishing company printing plates (i.e. Cole, O'Flannagan, Ryan, White) or else copied from one of the Howe publications (Ford). The Irish version, as "Katie's Rambles," is a more nuanced mixed mode (major/mixolydian) or modal (mixolydian) version. See also closely related versions as "Kitty's Rambles."
