220 - Molly Malone (Cockles and Mussels)
Verse 1 In Dublin’s fair city where girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone:
As she wheels her wheelbarrow
Through streets broad and narrow -
Crying ‘Cockles and Mussels alive, alive-o!’
Chorus Alive, alive-o! Alive, alive-o!
Crying ‘Cockles and Mussels alive, alive-o!’
Verse 2 She was a fishmonger but sure ‘twas no wonder
For so were her father and mother before:
And they both wheeled their barrow
Through streets broad and narrow -
Crying ‘Cockles and Mussels alive, alive-o!’
Chorus Alive, alive-o! Alive, alive-o!
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
But her ghost wheels her barrow
Through streets broad and narrow -
Crying ‘Cockles and Mussels alive, alive-o!’
Chorus Alive, alive-o! Alive, alive-o!
Crying ‘Cockles and Mussels alive, alive-o!’
