"cockles and mussels Alive -Alive-O

Great recording, guitar sounds, vocals and clicking-of-fingers

Great rockin' cover of this lovely old song. I always liked the last verse in particular. The idea of her ghost pushing a wheelbarrow through the streets of Dublin is an interesting twist to the lyrics.

The dress on that statue is very low-cut for the 17th century. I can see why she's known as the tart with the cart. I would have thought that a woman of that era would have been covered from neck to ankle. I guess the sculptor wasn't trying to be historically accurate.
