In Dublin's fair city where the girls are so pretty I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone As she wheels her wheel barrow through the streets broad and narrow Crying cockles and mussels alive alive-o Alive alive-o, alive alive-o Crying cockles and mussels alive alive-o She was a fishmonger and 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 Alive alive-o, alive alive-o Crying cockles and mussels alive alive-o 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 Alive alive-o, alive alive-o Crying cockles and mussels alive alive-o
