This melody was first printed by Dublin publisher Smollet Holden in A Collection of Old Established Irish Slow and Quick Tunes, vol. 2 (c. 1805) as “Bear leigean doibh” (“Better let them be”). However, the now-common title “Paddy in London” is only first found accompanying the tune in W. West's Irish Country Dances (London, c. 1820).
