Cockles and Mussels

1.
In Dublin's fair city, where girls are so pretty,I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone.As she wheel'd her wheel-barrowThro'the streets broad and narrow.
Chorus
Crying, "Cockles and Mussels, alive, alive, oh!"Alive, alive oh! Alive, alive oh!Crying, "Cockles and Mussels, alive, alive oh!"
2.
She was a fishmonger, and sure 't was no wonder,For so were her father and mother before.And they each wheel'd their barrowThro'the streets broad and narrow,
3.
She died of a fever, and no one could save her,And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.Her ghost wheels her barrowThro'the streets broad and narrow.
