STROP THE RAZOR [2] (Cuir faobar air an sgian-bearrta). AKA - "Strap the Razor." Irish, Double Jig (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC (O'Neill/Krassen): AA'BBCC' (Mitchell): ABCD (O'Neill/1850): AABBCCDD (O'Neill/1001). The similar words 'strap' and 'strop,' which mean the same thing and both appear in American English, stem from regional dialect retained in the language; the New Englander says 'strap' when pronouncing strop, just as he or she does when saying 'drap' for 'drop.' Petrie (1855) identifies the tune as "a Munster jig." An early version appears in the mid-19th century music manuscript collection of County Cork uilleann piper and Church of Ireland cleric James Goodman [1] as "Strap the Razor". Philippe Varlet notes its age, remarking that the tune appears in 18th century collections and ballad operas.
