'''BRITCHES FULL OF STITCHES (THE)'''. AKA and see "O the Breeches Full of Stitches," "The Breeches On," "The Britches," "The Irish Lad('s a Jolly Boy)." Irish, Polka. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The American tune "Leather Breeches" appears to be a variant. Peter Wood (in his 1996 book '''The Living Note: the Heartbeat of Irish Music'''), remarks on County Clare fiddler Martin Hayes' version:

The tune is perhaps first mentioned in Irish novelist and Fenian Charles Kickham's novel '''Knocknagow, or the Homes of Tipperary''', first published in 1879, in which this ditty is sung by a jew's harp player who first plays the tune for a vistor who has torn his pants, then sings:
<blockquote>
''Oh, my breeches full of sticthes,''<br>
''Oh, my breeches buckled on.''<br>
