OT: Songs with Woman/Girl's Name


Judy Collins' take on Pirate Jenny is excellent. Here's a version sung by the woman who originated it on stage--Lotte Lenya. It's a song from the musical Threepenny Opera, with music by Kurt Weill and lyrics by Bertolt Brecht. Weill was Lenya's first husband.

 
@Jackcatscal may have opened up a can of worms with his post of Maggie's Lilt. Here's one of my favorites. Matt Molloy (Chieftains, Planxty) has a pub in County Connaucht where a lot of famous traditional musicians often get together. This version of Over the Moor to Maggie is from a CD recorded by a group of them.

 
One more, Drowsy Maggie from Altan, one of their early albums when Frankie Kennedy (rip) on the flute.
