'''FIVE MILES FROM TOWN [2]'''. American, Reel (cut time). USA, south-central Kentucky (Cumberland Plateau). D Major. Standard tuning or ADae (Rayna Gellert). AAB. This rather hypnotic sounding tune, thoroughly grounded in the droned tonic note, is a different tune than "[[Five Miles from Town (1)]]". Bayard (1981) believes this tune (and tune family) is derived from an Irish tune called "[[May Day (2)]]" (Bealtaine) or, as it is better-known today, "[[Mullingar Races (2)]]." Other American members of this family include "[[Dubuque]]," "[[Old Dubuque]]," "[[Nancy Dawson]]" and "[[Duck River]]." Bobby Fulcher (1986) states that the tune was relatively unfamiliar outside Wayne County, Ky., in the Cumberland Plateau region, although the name has some wider currency. Titon (2001) similarly says that Clyde Davenport is the sole source musician to play this tune, and further, Titon clears up the dizzying confusion among the many similar "Five Mile to/from/out of Town" titles. Bayard (1981), however, collected a version similar in many respects from a fiddler from Centre County, Pennsylvania, in the 1930's.
