A play on:
Cockles and Mussels
In Dublin's fair city,<br> where the girls are so pretty<br> I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone<br> As she wheel'd her wheel barrow<br> Thro' streets broad and narrow<br>
(Chorus)<br> Crying “Cockles and Mussels alive, alive O!”<br> Alive, alive O! Alive, alive O<br> Crying Cockles and Mussels Alive, alive O!<br>
She was a fishmonger,<br> But sure 'twas no wonder,<br> For so were her father and mother before,<br> And they each wheel'd their barrow<br> Thro' streets broad and narrow,<br> (Repeat Chorus)<br>
She died of a fever<br> And no one could save her,<br> And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone;<br> But her ghost wheels her barrow<br> Thro' streets broad and narrow<br> (Repeat Chorus)<br>
