MUDDY ROAD TO DUBLIN. American; Reel, Polka or Two-Step (cut time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune was perhaps derived from a polka, particularly the second strain, but could also be classified as a reel or two-step. The source for the tune was fiddler Street Butler (1904-1977), of Elkton, Todd County, in southwestern Kentucky. He was recorded, as was older Todd County fiddler W.L. "Jake" Phelps, by Bruce Greene in the mid-1970's.
