Thread Name: Songs about women, but not about love
Subject: RE: Songs about women, but not about love
@Guest I overlooked Cockles & Mussels because of those lines: "Where the girls are so pretty /
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone". Struck me as an Angelina Baker-style premise to a song (i.e. a man describing a woman to another man as a potential object for affection). Likewise, Clementine is 'my darling'.

Both are possibly 'matches', but not outright.
