Paddy On The Railway

Reel · 4/4 · D major

Paddy on the Railway is a traditional Irish reel played in four-four time with a lively and energetic character typical of nineteenth-century dance tunes. Because the composer and exact geographic origin are not historically recorded, the tune is best understood through its vibrant oral transmission within traditional fiddle and session repertoires. The melody features the bright tonality and driving rhythm of D major, making it a enduring favorite among both traditional instrumentalists and dancers.
