PADDY BE AISY. AKA and see "Hush the Cat from Under the Table,” "Last Night's Fun (2),” "Miss Brown’s Fancy (4),” [4] "Sugrady na hOiche Areir,” "Wink and she'll follow you.” Irish, Slip Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. ‘Aisy’ is a dialect word for easy. Neither "Paddy Now Won't You be Easy" nor "Paddy "Go Easy"" in O'Neill's, despite the confusing similarity of titles. The first strain of "Last Night's Fun (2)" is cognate with "Paddy be Aisy," although the second strains differ.
