Molly Malone

In Dublin's fair city
Where girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
As she pushed her wheelbarrow,
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying, "CockIes and MusseIs, alive, alive oh"!

Refrein:
Alive, alive oh! Alive, alive oh!
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alivè oh"!

Now she was a fishmonger,
And sure t was no wonder,
For so were her mother and father before,
And they each wheeled her barrow
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, ”Cockles and Mussels, alive, alive oh”!

Refrein:
Alive, a live oh! Alive, alive oh!
Crying, "Cockles 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.
Now her ghost wheels her barrow,
Through the street broad and narrow,
Crying, ”Cockles and Mussels, alive, alive oh"!

Refrein
Alive, alive oh! Alive, alive oh!
Crying, "Cockles and musels, alive. alive oh"!
