PADDY O'CARROLL'S [2]. AKA and see "Boys of Tandragee (The)," “Burke's Jig (2),” "Pat Burke's," “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. See also the first strain of "Paddy McFadden's Jig (2)."
