Brendan Breathnach (1963, 1971), Robin Williamson (1976) and other knowledgeable musicians generally think the tune, a perennial favorite of performers, originated in Scotland.

"Rakish Paddy" is cited by Cowdery (1990) as the title tune of a dance tune family (including one march version) which includes the alternate titles given above.


The tune has had a long history in English country dance, retaining its popularity almost until the present-day. One source gives that the air is printed in Playford's '''Dancing Master''', 1650, p. 167 (though other sources say it did not appear until later editions of the '''Dancing Master''' starting in 1669).  
There are three distinct versions of the tune, says Cowdery, the first and most common of the three has its two strains corresponding to the Scots "Caber Féigh/[[Cabar Féidh]]." The second was recorded by fiddler John Doherty and appears to be particular to his home County Donegal (see [[O'Halloran's]]), and the third (recorded by County Clare fiddler Bobby Casey and played by many) is a four-strain variation of Caber Féigh/[[Cabar Féidh]], though the last two strains appear to be variations of the second. Caoimhin Mac Aoidh also states that the County Donegal version is different than the "Rakish Paddy" played in the south of Ireland.  


Dr. Rimbault ('''Notes and Queries''', i. No. 8) gives the earliest printing as Playford’s '''Division Violin''' (1685). Kidson finds it first published in Henry Playford’s '''Dancing Master, 9th edition''' of 1695 (p. 167), printed with dance directions, and it was retained in the long-running '''Dancing Master''' series of editions through the 18th and final one of 1728 (then published by Playford's successor, John Young).  
In fact, he traces an unusual version of "Rakish Paddy" from Charlie Doherty, a member of the famous fiddling Doherty family of Donegal, who brought the tune back to Ireland with him from his years in America.

Rakish Paddy

Brendan Breathnach (1963, 1971), Robin Williamson (1976) and other knowledgeable musicians generally think the tune, a perennial favorite of performers, originated in Scotland. O'Neill finds that Bremner published it under the title "Caper Fey" (an English corruption of the Gaelic "Caber Féigh/Cabar Féidh," 'the deer's horns') in 1768 in his Second Collection of Scots Reels or Country Dances. "Rakish Paddy" is cited by Cowdery (1990) as the title tune of a dance tune family (including one march version) which includes the alternate titles given above.

There are three distinct versions of the tune, says Cowdery, the first and most common of the three has its two strains corresponding to the Scots "Caber Féigh/Cabar Féidh." The second was recorded by fiddler John Doherty and appears to be particular to his home County Donegal (see O'Halloran's), and the third (recorded by County Clare fiddler Bobby Casey and played by many) is a four-strain variation of Caber Féigh/Cabar Féidh, though the last two strains appear to be variations of the second. Caoimhin Mac Aoidh also states that the County Donegal version is different than the "Rakish Paddy" played in the south of Ireland.

In fact, he traces an unusual version of "Rakish Paddy" from Charlie Doherty, a member of the famous fiddling Doherty family of Donegal, who brought the tune back to Ireland with him from his years in America. Although Charlie’s death from a fall out a second-story window was untimely, the tune was ultimately popularized by the playing of his younger brother John and now is known throughout Donegal.

Flute player Roger Sherlock remembers "Rakish Paddy" was a favorite of uilleann piper Willie Clancy's (Miltown Malbay, County Clare) in the 1950's and 1960's when Clancy joined Sherlock and other Irish émigré musicians for a time in London.
