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, Alive, Alive O

Chorus

Alive, alive O

Alive, alive O

Crying, cockles and Mussels

Alive, alive O

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

(chorus)

She died of a faver, 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

(chorus)
