'''FATHER HALPIN'S TOPCOAT [1]'''. Irish, Varsovienne (3/4 time, "Gaily"). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Although included by Roche in a section of "Marches etc.", the tune is the vehicle for a varsovienne dance. "Father Halpin's Top Coat" is also an alternate title to the melody called "[[Varsovienne (1) (The)]]" or "[[Shoe the Donkey (1)]] (see "[[Father Halpin's Topcoat (2)]]."
