129. Molly Malone  The Dubliners
A
Crying, "Cockles and mussels,
EA
alive, alive, oh!"

A
In Dublin's fair city,
E
where the girls are so pretty,
A
I first set my eyes
E
on sweet Molly Malone.
A
As she wheeled her wheel-barrow
E
through streets broad and narrow,
A
crying, "Cockles and mussels,
EA
alive, alive, oh!"

A
Alive, alive, oh,
E
alive, alive, oh,
A
crying, "Cockles and mussels,
EA
alive, alive, oh!"




A
She was a fishmonger
E
and sure it's no wonder,
A
so were her father
E
and mother before.
A
They each wheeled their barrow
E
through streets broad and narrow,
A
crying, "Cockles and mussels,
EA
alive, alive, oh!"

A
Alive, alive, oh,
E
alive, alive, oh,
A
crying, "Cockles and mussels,
EA
alive, alive, oh!"




A
She died of a fever
E
no one could save her.
A
That was the end
E
of sweet Molly Malone.
A
Now her ghost wheels her barrow
E
through streets broad and narrow,
A
crying, "Cockles and mussels,
EA
alive, alive, oh!"

A
Alive, alive, oh,
E
alive, alive, oh,
A
crying, "Cockles and mussels,
EA
alive, alive, oh!"


Die Stadt Dublin hat der schönen Fischhändlerin dieses Denkmal gesetzt, das 1988 vom Bürgermeister der Stadt enthüllt wurde.
