Dervish, Imelda May - Molly Malone lyrics

[Dervish, Imelda May - Molly Malone lyrics]

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"

She was a fishmonger
And sure, t'was no wonder
For so were her father and mother before
And they wheeled their wheelbarrows
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" alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh
"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 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" alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh
Crying "cockles and mussels, alive, alive
Oh"

Alive, alive, oh alive, alive, oh
Crying "cockles and mussels, alive, alive
Oh" "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"
