PADDY THE WEAVER. AKA and see "Basket of Oysters (1)," "Casey's Fiddle (1)." Irish, Jig (6/8 time). D Major (O'Flannagan, Wilson): G Major (Clinton): D Minor (Kennedy). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A precursor to the tune as printed by O'Neill was first published in James Aird's Selection of Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign Airs, vol. 3 (Glasgow, 1788) as "Basket of Oysters (1)" with the alternate title given as "Pady [sic] the Weaver." Compare O’Neill’s “Paddy the Weaver” in O'Neill's Waifs and Strays of Gaelic Melody (1922) with “Black Rogue (2)."
The minor tonality version (e.g. Kennedy) seems to be a better tonal ‘fit’ for the melody (the notes are identical to the major version, save for the 'c' notes are sharped in the 2nd strain).
