PADDY O'CARROL{'S JIG} [1] (Paidin Ua Cearbaill). AKA and see "Bad Luck to this Marching," "Exile's Lament (The)," “Flight of the Wild Geese (3),” "Origin of Ireland." Irish, Scottish, English; Double Jig. D Major (Cole, Kershaw, O'Neill/Krassen, 1001 & 1850): G Major (Kennedy, O’Farrell, O'Neill/1915). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (most versions): AABBCCDD (Kennedy, O’Farrell). The composition is attributed to Scottish composer James Oswald in William Bradbury Ryan’s Mammoth Collection (1883). An earlier American printing of the tune was in Edward Riley’s Flute Melodies, vol. 2 (New York, 1817). In England, “Paddy O’Carrol” appears in J. Balls’ Gentleman’s Amusement, Book 3 (London, 1815, reprinted in 1830), as well as O’Farrell’s 1808 volume, wherein the tune’s provenance is given as “Scotch”. Country dance directions to “Paddy O’Carrol” appear in Treasures of the Terpsichore: or a Companion for the Ball Room, published in London by W. Calvert in 1808. The jig was included by Waverly area, Cumbria, musician John Rook in his large manuscript collection of 1840.
