Cockles and Mussles (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 `cockels and mussels! alive, alive oh!`
alive, alive oh, alive, alive oh!
crying `cockels and mussels! alive, alive oh!`
She was a fishmonger
but sure it was no wonder
for so were her father and mother before
and they each wheeled their barrow
through streets broad and narrow
crying `cockels and mussels! alive, alive oh!`
alive, alive oh, alive, alive oh!
crying `cockels and mussels! alive, alive oh!`
She died of a fever
and no one could save her
and that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
but her ghost wheels the barrow
through streets broad and narrow
crying `cockels and mussels! alive, alive oh!`
alive, alive oh, alive, alive oh!
crying `cockels and mussels! alive, alive oh
