Subject: RE: Origins: Molly/Maureen Bawn
Noreen Bawn is a song based on the real life experience of a young Irish girl Briget Gallagher who emigrated from Cresslough County Donegal to the Us at the age of 16 in 1921 and returned very ill with either Scarlet Fever or TB 1927 and died 3 months later aged 23.
Practically every Irish artiest has recorded the song and if you google Noreen Bawn or go to You Tube there is no problem finding it.
