[Verse One:]
G Em Am D7
In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty,
G Em Am D
I first set my eyes on sweet Molloy Malone.
G Em Am D7
She wheeled a wheelbarrow, through streets broad and narrow,
G Em
Crying cockles and mussels,
Am D G
A-live, A-live oh.
[Chorus:]
G Em
A-live, alive O,
Am D7
A-live, alive O,
G Em
Crying cockles and mussels,
Am D G
A-live, alive oh.
[Verse Two:]
G Em Am D7
She was a fishmonger, and sure twas no wonder,
G Em Am D
For so were her Father and Mother before.
G Em Am D7
And they all wheeled their barrows, through streets broad and narrow,
G Em Am D G
Crying Cockles and Mussels, Alive, alive O.
[Verse Three:]
G Em Am D7
She died of a fever, and no one to grieve her,
G Em Am D
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.
G Em Am D7
Now her ghost wheels her barrow, through streets broad and narrow,
G Em Am D G
Crying: Cockles and Mussels, alive, alive O.
