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!"


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