Back to Devil to Pay (The)

DEVIL TO PAY, THE. Irish, Reel. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The title may just be the phrase 'devil to pay' meaning 'impending consequences', or perhaps is a reference to the play The Devil to Pay, or The Wives Metamorphos'd (1731), a farce written by Charles Coffey and frequently revived, including in October, 1791, at the King's Theatre, Hay-Market with Mrs. Jordan in the role of Nell Jobson.

Source for notated version: the Rice-Walsh manuscript, a collection of music from the repertoire of Jeremiah Breen, a blind fiddler from North Kerry, notated by his student [O'Neill].

Printed sources: O'Neill (Waifs and Strays of Gaelic Melody),1922; No. 280.
