I think Cooper rather understates the role of Irish Molly in the story. The shape of the chorus suggests that Patterson (if it was he) was familiar with it and adapted it for The Hat .
During the week, at the Willy Clancy Summer School, I heard both The Hash (twice) and Irish Molly but not The Sash !
