129. Molly Malone  The Dubliners
       
  D
 Crying, "Cockles and mussels,
  AD
 alive, alive, oh!"

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

 D
Alive, alive, oh,
 A
alive, alive, oh,
 D
crying, "Cockles and mussels,
 AD
alive, alive, oh!"




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

 D
Alive, alive, oh,
 A
alive, alive, oh,
 D
crying, "Cockles and mussels,
 AD
alive, alive, oh!"




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

  D
 Alive, alive, oh,
  A
 alive, alive, oh,
  D
 crying, "Cockles and mussels,
  AD
 alive, alive, oh!"
     


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