In Dublin's fair city



1.
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
thro' streets broad and narrow,
crying: "Cockles and mussels!"

Refrain:
Alive, alive, o! Alive, alive, o! Alive, alive, o!
Crying: "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, o! "

2.
She was a fishmonger,
but sure't was no wonder,
for so were father and mother before;
and they each wheeled their barrow
through streets broad and narrow,
crying: "Cockles and mussels!"

Refrain:

3.
She died of a fever,
and no one could save her,
and that was the end of sweet Molly Malone;
but her ghost wheels her barrow
through streets broad and narrow,
crying: "Cockles and mussels!"

Refrain:
