                                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 wheel-barrow,
                        
Through 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 'twas no wonder,
               *               
For so were her father and mother before,
                           
And they each wheeled their barrow,
                        
Through 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 died of a fever,
                
And 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!"

              
"Alive, alive, oh,
            
Alive, alive, oh",
                   *                   
Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh".
