Molly Malone


In Dublin's Fair City

Where the girls are so pretty

I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone

As she wheel'd her wheel barrow

Through streets broad and narrow

Crying cockles

and mussels

alive, alive o!
Chorus

Alive, alive o!,

alive, alive o!

Crying cockles

and mussels

alive, alive o!


She was a fishmonger

But sure 'twas no wonder

For so were her father and mother before

And they each wheel'd their barrow

Through streets broad and narrow

Crying cockles

and mussels

alive, alive o!


Chorus


She died of a fever

And no one could save 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 o!


Chorus
