Sweet Molly Malone.
- By James Yorkston.
______________________
1) In Dublin's fair city, where girls are so pretty,
that's where I first met Sweet Molly Malone.
She wheeled her wheel barrow
Through streets that are narrow
Crying Cockles and Muscles
Alive alive-o! (Chorus)
*******************************************************
CHORUS:
_______________________________________________________
Alive , Alive-oho! Alive, Alive-oho!
Crying Cockles and Muscles
Alive alive-o! (2x)
_______________________________________________________
2) She was a fish monger
And that is no wonder,
So was her father and mother before!
They wheeled their wheel barrows
Through streets that are narrow
Crying Cockles and Muscles,
Alive, alive-o! (Chorus)
*******************************************************
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 barrow
Through streets that are narrow,
Crying Cockles and Muscles,
Alive alive-o! (Chorus)
