PADDY O'CARROLL'S [2]. AKA and see "Boys of Tandragee (The)," “Burke's Jig (2),” “Rollicking Boys of Tandaragree,” “Jolly Corkonian (The).” Irish, Double Jig. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune is a step higher on the scale than the major-mode tunes in the "Rollicking Boys of Tandaragree/Boys of Tandragee (The)" tune family, putting it into the minor mode, however, the melodic contour is very similar.

Flute player Peter Horan and fiddler Fred Finn

Source for notated version: fiddler Fred Finn, 1919-1986 (Kiltycreen, Kilavil, County Sligo) [Flaherty].
