PADDY, NOW WON'T YOU BE EASY? (A Paidin nac fanfad tu suaimnac). Irish, Slip Jig. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. Similarly-titled, although musically unrelated, tunes are the jig "Paddy "Go Easy"," and "Paddy be Aisy." The earliest appearance of the tune is in James Manson's Hamilton's Universal Tune Book, vol. 2 (Glasgow, 1846), where it gives the provenance as 'Irish'.
