PETTICOAT LOOSE [2]. AKA and see “Strop the Razor (1).” Irish, Double Jig. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. O’Neill (1922) remarks: “’Petticoat Loose’ is an old name for a dance tune. A jig under that name in O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland bears no resemblance to the above.”

Sources for notated versions: piper Willie Clancy (1918-1973, Miltown Malbay, west Clare) [Mitchell]; manuscripts in the possession of Chicago Police Sergeant James O’Neill, a fiddler originally from County Down—many were from the playing of his father [O’Neill].
