129. Molly Malone  The Dubliners
       
  G
 Crying, "Cockles and mussels,
  DG
 alive, alive, oh!"

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

 G
Alive, alive, oh,
 D
alive, alive, oh,
 G
crying, "Cockles and mussels,
 DG
alive, alive, oh!"
 
 
 
 

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

 G
Alive, alive, oh,
 D
alive, alive, oh,
 G
crying, "Cockles and mussels,
 DG
alive, alive, oh!"




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

  G
 Alive, alive, oh,
  D
 alive, alive, oh,
  G
 crying, "Cockles and mussels,
  DG
 alive, alive, oh!"
