AB (Breathnach): AAB (Cranitch): AABB (Brody, McNulty, Miller): AA'BB' (Flaherty, Vallely). The “Wheels of the World” is also the name of a famous song, a version of which was first published in Belfast in 1801 soon after the Irish Rebellion of 1798. County Sligo-born wikipedia:James_Morrison_(fiddler) (1893-1947) famously recorded the tune in New York in December, 1930, paired with “Rakish Paddy.” Coincidentally, it was also recorded in the same month in Chicago by fiddlers Francis Cashin and Tom Cawley, backed by a piano player named Ford.
