"Doran's Ass", also known as "Finnegan's Wake" or "Paddy Doyle's Ass" is an Irish and American song, polka, march or reel in D Major. The parts are played AB. According to Bayard (1981) the title is the one the tune is most commonly known by and comes from a "stage Irish" song. A variant of it was published by J.O. Bebbington sometime before 1859 and archived at the Bodleian Library. It was widely disseminated, with versions collected in much of the English-speaking world, and was known, for example, in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Pennsylvania as a folk song (where it was sometimes called "Dolan's Ass"). This version is from Hiram Horner as collected by Samuel Bayard. Horner was a fifer from Fayette/Westmoreland Counties, Pa., from whom Bayard collected the tune in 1944. Horner said he learned it from Scots fifer David P. Henderson. Horner was from a long line of fifers, including his grandfather and great-grandfather. It was printed in Bayard's Dance to the Fiddle (1981), O'Neill's Music of Ireland (1903), Roche's A Collection of Irish Airs, Marches and Dance Tunes (1911), Creighton's Songs and Ballads from Nova Scotia (1933), O'Lochlainn's Irish Street Ballads (1939) and Deloughery's Sliabh Luachra on Parade (1980). It was recorded by Frank Quinn (1925).
