Okay, here's the second version of New Five Cents, which I'm calling 'Ruffled Drawers' (New Five Cents) to distinguish it (for convenience) from the bluegrassy version recorded prior to this. I also added bass notes to distinguish this (Ruffled Drawers) from the previous tune (New Five Cents). Here the melody in the B-Part keeps going back to the low D-note (tonic), which exerts a strong gravitational force on the melodic contour. Again, the titles are interchangeable, so don't get hung up on titles. (A lesson that I've learned from Irish music: a tune like 'Toss the Feathers' can mean many different tunes, same as 'Munster Buttermilk', and on and on. Titles don't reveal how a melody actually goes, and there can be variants or branches of a melody, or entirely different melodies using the same title, or the same melody using different titles.)

Very melodically pretty with its embedded melody!
