PETTICOAT LOOSE [2]. AKA and see “Strop the Razor (1).” Irish, Double Jig (6/8 time). 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.” The jig was entered into the mid-19th century Sliabh Luachra music manuscript in the possession of D. Curtin (No. 71, p. 29 [1]).
