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

She died of a fever, and no one to grieve her,
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.
Now her ghost wheels her barrow, through streets broad and narrow,
Crying: Cockles and Mussels, alive, alive O.
