LET US LEAVE THAT AS IT IS (Fágamaíd Súd Mar Atá Sé). AKA and see "Barndoor Jig (The)," "Barn Door Jig (The)," "If Ever I Marry I'm the Son of a Whore," "Old Barndoor (The)," "Darby O'Leary," "Fágamaíd Súd Mar Atá Sé," "Jim McBride's," "Galbally Farmer (The)," "Get Up Early," "Leave That As It Is," "Rakes of Kildare (The)," "'Twas on the first of May brave boys," "If Ever I Marry I'm the Son of a Whore." Irish, Air or Jig (6/8 time, "gaily" says O'Neill and "lively, but somewhat slower than Jig time" states Joyce). A Dorian (Bayard, Joyce, O'Neill): A Mixolydian (Emmerson, Petrie): F Major/Mixolydian (Howe, Joyce): G Minor (Stanford/Petrie). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Bayard, Howe, Joyce, O'Neill): AAB (Emmerson, Stanford/Petrie). A widespread Irish tune with numerous names; Joyce states it was "well known all over the Munster counties" when he was collecting. O'Neill (1913) and Emmerson (1971) state it is an early jig set of the hornpipe "First of May (1)," which appears to be derivative. A march version was collected in southwestern Pa. by Bayard (1981, No. 603, p. 533).
