PADDY THE WEAVER. AKA and see "Basket of Oysters (1)." Irish, Jig. D Major (Wilson): D Minor (Kennedy). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune was first printed in James Aird's Selection of Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign Airs, vol. 3 (1788) as "Basket of Oysters (1)" with the alternate title given as "Pady the Weaver." Compare O’Neill’s “Paddy the Weaver” in Waifs and Strays of Gaelic Melody (1922) with “Black Rogue (2)." The minor tonality version seems to be a better tonal ‘fit’ for the melody (the notes are identical to the major version, save for the 'c' notes are sharped in the 2nd strain).
