In Dublin's fair city Where girls are so pretty 'Twas there I first met With sweet Molly Malone She drove a wheelbarrow Through the 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" She was a fishmonger But sure 'twas no wonder For so were her mother and father before They drove their wheelbarrows Through the streets broad and narrow Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive-o" Chorus She died of a fever And nothing could save her And that was the end of Sweet Molly Malone But her ghost wheels a barrow through the streets broad and narrow Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive-o" Repeat Chorus twice
