Irish Molly O
Irish Molly-o is a traditional song of Scots-Irish origin. Widely popular in North America in the early 19th century, it was first published by A.W. Aunner in Philadelphia around 1830 and later in New York City by Kennedy. Both "The Hat My Father Wore" and "The Sash My Father Wore" were adapted from this song.Lyrics
