M	Origins: Molly/Maureen Bawn (21)	Molly/Maureen Bawn?	04 Nov 99
I just got this (old) album of Irish singers entitled "The Singing Men Of Ulster." On it is a song called "Molly Bawn," which is in the Digitrad. At a local session, there is a man referred to as The Man Form The North, who has sung an anti-immigration lament called, I think, "Maureen Bawn." I'm curious, is this Molly/Maureen Bawn thing a distinctly Northern phenomenon? Is there some quasi-historical/mythological woman by this name? Alison? Anybody? Any clues?
