 BIG FAT GAL'S GOOD I KNOW, BUT A LITTLE FAT GAL'S BETTER O! AKA and see "Shoehammer," "Paddy Got Drunk on Fish and Potatoes." American, Jig. USA, southwestern Pa. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Apparently an American version of an Irish jig. R.P. Christeson's (1973) Missouri collected "Quadrille, No. 188" has a general resemblance to this tune, in the 'A' part only, notes Samuel Bayard (1981). Sources for notated versions: Irvin Yaugher (Fayette County, Pa., 1946) & Wellington Funk (Greene County, Pa., 1930's) [Bayard]. Yaugher had his version from "old Irish fiddler Tommy Hare." Printed source: Bayard (Dance to the Fiddle), 1981; No. 532A & 531B, p. 474. __NORICHEDITOR__
