LONG JOHN'S WEDDING ("Posga Sean Fada" or "Posad Seagan Fada"). AKA and see "Mary Bain's Wedding." Irish, Double Jig or March (6/8 time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. O'Neill (1922) calls the march version in his Waifs and Strays (1922) an 'elaboration' of the jig he prints in Music of Ireland (1903). The second of O'Neill's strains differ somewhat. See "My House" or "My Own House" for a setting of the tune in waltz time (or as a 3/4 time air). See also note for "annotation:Nancy Fat"
Scottish singer Belle Stewart's comic song "The Bonnie Wee Lassie frae Gourock" [1] [2] employs this tune, although it is an adaption of music hall star Harry Lauder's original song named "Piper MacFarlane" (words by Lauder and Gerald Grafton, music by Lauder, published and recorded for Pathé in 1906). Belle learned the song from a broadsheet, from The Poet's Box in Dundee. The music-hall era song and dance tune "Perfect Cure (The)" shares the same first strain, although the second strains differ.
