File:The King of the Pipers.mp3 King of the Pipers

There are a number of versions of this popular jig, with parts (varation sets) often in different order. Francis O'Neill (Irish Folk Music, 1910) says that the multi-part tune "created a sensation" when introduced to Chicago traditional musicians and dancers ("who had never heard" it before) by the elderly fiddler Edward Cronin, originally from Limerick Junction, County Tipperary (born in the early 1840's).

O'Neill thought it "quite probable" that the melody had originally been a clan march.

King of the Pipers is a common tune in County Donegal, where two different versions are played (see also King of the Pipers (2)).

Seán Keane was of the opinion the melody had a Donegal provenance and said it was associated with the Order of the Knights of St. Patrick. Caoimhin Mac Aoidh (1994) states that the tunes "clearly have piping origins" and remarks on the melody/drone rendition of the piece by Teelin, Donegal, fiddlers Francie Dearg Byrne and Mickey Ban Byrne--a style imitative of the pipes.

Feldman & O'Doherty (1979) believe the brothers probably obtained their version from piper Mickey Gallagher, a traveling cousin of famous Donegal fiddler John Doherty's. Alternate titles from the north are Kilraine Jig (The), named after a townland outside Glenties in the central mountain district of County Donegal, "McSweeney's Jig," named for the famous Donegal uilleann piper and fiddler Tarlach McSweeney, and Farting Badger (The). {{safesubst:#invoke:string|rep|

-The tune has had a long history in English country dance, retaining its popularity almost until the present-day. One source gives that the air is printed in Playford's '''Dancing Master''', 1650, p. 167 (though other sources say it did not appear until later editions of the '''Dancing Master''' starting in 1669).

-Dr. Rimbault ('''Notes and Queries''', i. No. 8) gives the earliest printing as Playford’s '''Division Violin''' (1685). Kidson finds it first published in Henry Playford’s '''Dancing Master, 9th edition''' of 1695 (p. 167), printed with dance directions, and it was retained in the long-running '''Dancing Master''' series of editions through the 18th and final one of 1728 (then published by Playford's successor, John Young).

Next to them sate a company of clownish look’d Fellows with leather breeches, and hob nail’d shoes...the great booby hod nailed fellows whose breeches and lungs seem’d to be of the same leather, cried out for “Cheshire Rounds,” “Roger of Coverley,” “Joan’s Placket,” and “Northern Nancy.” Those with the Blew bonnets had very good voices, and split their Wems in hollowing out—“Bonny Dundee”—“Valiant Jockey,” “Sauny was a Bonny Lad,” and “’Twas within a Furlong of Edinburgh Town.”
