129. Molly Malone  The Dubliners
       
  C
 Crying, "Cockles and mussels,
  GC
 alive, alive, oh!"

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

 C
Alive, alive, oh,
 G
alive, alive, oh,
 C
crying, "Cockles and mussels,
 GC
alive, alive, oh!"




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

 C
Alive, alive, oh,
 G
alive, alive, oh,
 C
crying, "Cockles and mussels,
 GC
alive, alive, oh!"




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

  C
 Alive, alive, oh,
  G
 alive, alive, oh,
  C
 crying, "Cockles and mussels,
  GC
 alive, alive, oh!"
