|
In Dublin's fair city, |
|
where the girls are so pretty, |
|
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone, |
|
As she wheeled her wheel-barrow, |
|
Through streets wide and narrow, |
|
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive alive oh!" |
|
"Alive-a-live-oh, |
|
Alive-a-live-oh", |
|
Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive alive oh". |
|
She was a fishmonger, |
|
And sure 'twas no wonder, |
|
For so was her mother and father before, |
|
And they each wheeled their barrow, |
|
Through streets wide and narrow, |
|
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh!" |
|
(chorus) |
|
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 wide and narrow, |
|
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh!" |
|
(chorus) |
