Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In Dublin's fair city where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
She wheeled her wheelbarrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying, "Cockles and mussels alive, alive, oh"
[Chorus]
Alive, alive, oh, alive, alive, oh
Crying, "Cockles and mussels alive, alive, oh"
[Verse 2]
She was a fishmonger and sure 'twas no wonder
For so were her father and mother before
They both wheeled their barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying, "Cockles and mussels alive, alive, oh"
[Chorus]
Alive, alive, oh, alive, alive, oh
Crying, "Cockles and mussels alive, alive, oh"
[Verse 3]
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, oh"
[Chorus]
Alive, alive, oh, alive, alive, oh
Crying, "Cockles and mussels alive, alive, oh"
Alive, alive, oh, alive, alive, oh
Crying, "Cockles and mussels alive, alive, oh"
