I know this isn't a crossword as such, but maybe someone can help me get these solved.

The answers are all girls' names in well known songs - e.g. She wheeled her wheelbarrow - Answer 'Molly'

4 - Plain as any name can be (4)
9 - She had a connection with gin (8)
10 - She picked grapes with him (10)
14 - She was in love (5)
21 - A very nice girl (5)

Also it would help if you could give the name of the song each has come from

4 looks like JANE

There seems to have been a Bobby Darin song - Plain Jane

and a Jefferson Starship hit called Jane - but I don't think it was well known.

10. I think this could be Marguerita - as I remember my dad singing "Oh, bella Marguerita, Marguerita picking grapes with me" the don't write 'em like that any more!

Thank you for your quick responses:
Dot Dash Dot Dash. I had originally had Jane as an answer but a friend suggested that Mary might be the answer. Harrhy confirms this.
Also I had tried searching for 'margarita' and had not found anything, so HelenB's spelling has put me right.
Thanks again; just the rest to solve
