HIS DUDEEN. Irish?, Jig. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A dudeen was a clay pipe, as illustrated by this somewhat derogatory item in a paper called The Daily Dispatch of December 27, 1865.

--An intoxicated Irishman walked overboard from one of the East Boston ferry boats on Wednesday night. When he went over he had a short, dirty-looking pipe in his mouth, and when he was fished out of the water he still held the "dudeen" firmly clenched between his lips. The only damage he sustained was a thorough drenching.
