In Dublin's fair city,
where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheel'd her wheel barrow
Through the streets broad and narrow
Chorus:
Crying "Cockles and Mussels alive, alive-O!
Alive, alive-O! Alive, alive-O!
Crying Cockles and Mussels, alive, alive-O!
She was a fishmonger,
But sure 'twas no wonder,
For so were her father and mother before,
And they each wheel'dtheir barrow
Thro' streets broad and narrow,
Repeat Chorus
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
Thro' streets broad and narrow
Repeat Chorus
