Playing or Personal Notes:
The version we have is in G, but doesn't have chords. I'm thinking we haven't played this much, but in any case I think the 'Leather Britches' (US variant) is interesting. See the var-.abc file.
History
As tune #240 in volume 2 of The Roche Collection.
An Irish polka, the American tune "Leather Breeches" is a variant. Apparently the version by the County Clare fiddler Martin Hayes is well regarded.
