Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Will You Come Down to Limerick?'
Gibb Sahib said limericks don't fit 9/8 slipped jig time - I agree. It fits 8 bars of 6/8 jig time perfectly, if we include the silent beat at the end of lines 1,2 and 5. What do others think? Just treat lines 3 and 4 as another two bar line.

Does anyone know of common 8 bar jig tunes used for limericks? Or would any jig do?
