'''"BOSS", THE'''. AKA and see "[[Old Horned Sheep (The)]]." American, Jig. B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. See also Donegal fiddler John Doherty's tune "[[Pet in the Kitchen (The)]]." American origins for the tune are doubtful, as it appears to be an amalgam of two old Irish tunes, "[[Humors of Donnybrook]]" and "[[Sweet Biddy Daly]]" (the 'A' and 'B' parts, respectively). The title is perhaps a reference to Jimmy Norton (see note for "[[Boss Clog Hornpipe (The)]]").
