Molly Malone
In Dublin's fair city; where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow through streets broad and narrow
Crying 'Cockles and Mussels! Alive, alive oh!"
Chorus
Alive, alive oh (2x)
Crying 'Cockles and Mussels! Alive, alive oh!"
She was a fishmonger; but sure 'twas no wonder,
For so were her father and mother before,
And they each wheeled their barrows through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
(Chorus)
She died of a fever, and none could relieve her,
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.
But her ghost wheels her barrow through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
(Chorus)
