Sailor's Wife A.K.A The Firefly Jig

River Tam danced to this tune in an episode of Firefly. It's a Scottish jig and beloved to me for its connection to one of my all-time favorite science fiction series.

Many thanks to the Whistle This! web site for providing me with the resources to learn this tune. To hear it performed by other musicians on the Whistle This! web site, click here.

Greetings! I'm Dr. Ceallaigh S. MacCath-Moran. I hold B.A. in Celtic Studies from the University of Toronto, an M.A. in English and Creative Writing from the University of Maine, and a PhD in Folklore from Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador. I'm also an author, poet, and musician under the name C.S. MacCath. My long-running Folklore & Fiction project integrates these passions with a focus on folklore scholarship aimed at storytellers, and I bring a deep appreciation of animism, ecology, and folkloristics to my own storytelling.
