PADDY O'RAFFERTY [2]. AKA and see "Ten Penny Money." Irish, Jig (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'CC. O’Neill (Irish Folk Music, 1910) supposes "Paddy O'Rafferty" to be:
…another of those ancient tunes which has been the subject of embellishments or variations about the end of the 18th century. It is said to have been composed by O’Carolan in honor of a little boy of that name who won immortality by obligingly opening the gate for the bard while paying a visit to his first love, Bridget Cruise.
