LILTING FISHERMAN, THE. AKA and see "Bit of Ginger," "Fisherman (1) (The)," "Fisherman's Lilt (2)," "Joe Derrane's Jig (1)." Irish, Double Jig (6/8 time). G Major ('A' part) & D Major ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Mallinson, McNulty): AA'BB' (Tubridy). Perhaps composed by Paddy Killoran (see Annotation:Joe Derrane's Jig (1)). Per the comment below by researcher Jean Duval, a similar but older tune from France can be found in a quadrille part:
