Molly Malone
In Dublin's fair city Where the girls are so pretty I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone As she wheeled her wheelbarrow Through the streets broad and narrow Crying "cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh" Alive, alive, oh, alive, alive, oh Crying Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh" She was a fishmonger And sure, t'was no wonder For so were her mother and father before They each wheeled their barrow Through streets broad and narrow Crying "cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh" She pushes her barrow Through streets broad and narrow The barrow is narrow, her hips are too wide Whenever she wheels it, the neighborhood feels it Her girdle keeps brushin' the homes on each side She died of a fever, no one could save her And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone Now her ghost wheels her barrow Through streets broad and narrow Crying "cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh" From Letras Mania
