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!"


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