PIRATE'S HORNPIPE, THE. AKA - "Pirate (The)." AKA and see "Holmes' Hornpipe," "Occidental Hornpipe." Scottish, Hornpipe. E Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody appears in Kohler's Violin Repository, Book 3 (Edinburgh, 1885).

The hornpipe's appearance in Laybourn's 1885 Scottish collection is predated by its printing (as "Holmes' Hornpipe" and "Occidental Hornpipe") in William Bradbury Ryan's Mammoth Collection (Boston, 1883).
