X:20 T:Mage on a Cree R:Jig H:The dance is a progressive round, one of the earliest types found in H:TDM. No one has been able to explain the meaning of the title, and H:from the entries in old books, it seems it was not clear then. It may H:have been Irish. When the title was first used for a ballad in 1633, H:the tune name was "Magina-cree". M:6/8 L:1/8 Q:120 K:GDor G>cd/2e/2 f2c|A2F c2A|B>cd d>cd|B>AG d2G|G>cd/2e/2 f2c|A2F c2A |B>cd e>fg|^f>ef g2G||
