Cockles and Mussels - Molly Malone - Dublin's Fair City

Molly Malone

Verse 1. In Dublin's fair city,
Where 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 O ! "

Chorus:
Alive, alive oh! alive, alive oh!
Crying, " Cockles and mussels, alive, alive O ! "

Verse 2. Now she was a fishmonger,
And sure twas no wonder,
For so were her mother and father before,
And they each wheeled their barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, " Cockles and mussels, alive, alive O ! "

Verse 3. She died of a fever,
And no one could save her,
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.
Now her ghost wheels her barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, " Cockles and mussels, alive, alive O ! "
