TOM NOKES' JIG. AKA and see "Rantin' Roarin' Willie," "Mitford Galloway (The)," "Come Open the Door Sweet Betty." English, Slip Jig (9/8 time). C Major ('A' part) & A Minor ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. Tom Nokes was an English actor popular during the reign of Charles II. Chappell (1859) notes that "Come Open the Door, Sweet Betty" appears in the first part of "Tom Nokes' Jig," and though the time is different, they are evidently founded on a common ancestor or that one is a derivative of the other. The air appears in Apollo's Banquet(1669).
