129. Molly Malone  The Dubliners
       
  F
 Crying, "Cockles and mussels,
  CF
 alive, alive, oh!"

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

 F
Alive, alive, oh,
 C
alive, alive, oh,
 F
crying, "Cockles and mussels,
 CF
alive, alive, oh!"




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

 F
Alive, alive, oh,
 C
alive, alive, oh,
 F
crying, "Cockles and mussels,
 CF
alive, alive, oh!"




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

  F
 Alive, alive, oh,
  C
 alive, alive, oh,
  F
 crying, "Cockles and mussels,
  CF
 alive, alive, oh!"
     


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