Molly Malone
[Verse 1]
C Am
In Dublin's fair city,
Dm G
where the girls are so pretty,
C Em Dm G
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
C Am
As she wheeled her wheel-barrow,
Dm G
Through streets broad and narrow,
C Em G C
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
[Chorus]
C Am
"Alive, alive, oh,
Dm G
Alive, alive, oh",
C Em G C
Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh".
[Verse 2]
C Am
She was a fishmonger,
Dm G
And sure 'twas no wonder,
C Em Dm G
For so were her father and mother before,
C Am
And they each wheeled their barrow,
Dm G
Through streets broad and narrow,
C Em G C
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
[Chorus]
C Am
"Alive, alive, oh,
Dm G
Alive, alive, oh",
C Em G C
Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh".
[Verse 3]
C Am
She died of a fever,
Dm G
And no one could save her,
C Em Dm G
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.
C Am
Now her ghost wheels her barrow,
Dm G
Through streets broad and narrow,
C Em G C
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
[Chorus]
C Am
"Alive, alive, oh,
Dm G
Alive, alive, oh",
C Em G C
Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh".
