Cockles and Mussels
Ook wel: Molly Malone
-
In Dublin’s fair city, where girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone.
As she wheel’d her wheel-barrow
Thro’ streets broad and narrow.
Chorus:
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 father and mother before;
And they each wheel’d their barrow
Thro’ 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
Thro’ streets broad and narrow,
