Weepy Jamie

I’ve no idea of the origin of this tune, but the title and the structure of it incline me to think that it may be Scottish.

Notwithstanding the above, here it is being played (without repeats) for the Gog Magog Molly dancers who hail from Cambridge, in England.

I’ve incorporated my own chord settings into the ABC transcription.

The somewhat unexpected triplet at the end of the penultimate bar adds interest to the tune, I feel.
