DORAN'S ASS. AKA and see "Finnegan's Wake (2)?," "Paddy Doyle's Ass." American, March or Reel. USA, southwestern Pa. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. According to Bayard (1981) the title is the one the tune is most commonly known by, and comes from a "stage Irish" song (known in Pennsylvania as a folk song, "Dolan's Ass"). The polka also forms part of the Irish quadrille "Off to Skelligs--2nd Figure."

Source for notated version: Hiram Horner (fifer from Fayette/Westmoreland Counties, Pa., 1944, who learned it from Scots fifer David P. Henderson) [Bayard].
