In Dublin’s fair city, where girls are so pretty
’Twas there that I first met sweet Molly Malone
She wheeled her wheelbarrow through streets broad and narrow
Crying, “cockels and mussels alive, alive-o”
Alive, alive-o, alive, alive-o
Crying, “cockels 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 wheeled their barrow through streets broad and narrow…
She died of a fever and no one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
Her ghost wheels her barrow through streets broad and narrow
