Only tune I can play on the whistle ! First one I learned as a chap with comhaltas unfortunately made me fall out of love with trad for a while then fell back in thanks to a great session in portlaoise
I had a discussion with friends and family on Facebook. I was a skinny boy and my pants would slide down. Mama would say, “ You’re losing your britches!” She’s from Alabama. It turns out a lot of my kin still use britches instead of saying pants. Other variations: You’re getting to big for your britches! And my favorite, My nose itches, somebody’s com in’ with a hole in their britches! I just wanted to share that in the Southern states in America we still say britches 😀 Thank you for sharing your beautiful music!
Dennis...never forgotten 🙏
Wonderful tunes. Thanks a lot and greetings from Bergen
What a beautiful variation. I appreciated being able to listen to this.

Britches get stitches
This variation of the tune is Paddy Canny's and he calls it simply "Britches" --to distinguish it from the trad setting, I guess.
Its britches full of stitches 100 percent. Played in G.
