Molly Malone Songtext
von Fiddler’s Green

In Dublin′s fair city, where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow
Through the streets broad and narrow
Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"

Alive, alive, oh, alive, alive, oh
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh, alive, alive, oh
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh

She was a fishmonger and sure it was no wonder
For so were her mother and father before
They each wheeled their barrow through streets broad and narrow
Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"

Alive, alive, oh, alive, alive, oh
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh, alive, alive, oh
Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh


She pushes her barrow through streets broad and narrow
The barrow is narrow, her hips are too wide
Whenever she wheels it, the neighborhood feels it
Her girdle keeps brushin' the homes on each side

Alive, alive, oh, alive, alive, oh
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh, alive, alive, oh
Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh

She died of a fever and no one could save 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, oh"

In Dublin′s fair city, where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
She wheeled her wheelbarrow through streets broad and narrow
Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"

Alive, alive, oh, alive, alive, oh
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh, alive, alive, oh
Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh


Alive, alive, oh, alive, alive, oh
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh, alive, alive, oh
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh
