ANGRY PEELER, THE. Irish, Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A 'peeler' was, and still sometimes is, a slang term for a policeman in the British Isles, and in America until about 1890. See also the related "Fardown Farmer (The)" in O'Neill's Music of Ireland (1903). "Joe Cooley's Jig" and "Boys of Thomastown" also appear to share related melodic material.
