Weddings and Courtships Molly Malone Molly Malone is a traditional Irish folk song. It is also known as Cockles and Mussels. In Dublin's Fair City Where the girls are so pretty I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone As she wheel'd her wheel barrow Through streets broad and narrow Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive o! Alive, alive o!, alive, alive o! Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive o! She was a fishmonger But sure 'twas no wonder For so were her father and mother before And they each wheel'd their barrow Through streets broad and narrow Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive o! Alive, alive o!, alive, alive o! Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive o! She died of a fever And no one could save her And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone But her ghost wheels her barrow Through streets broad and narrow Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive o! Alive, alive o!, alive, alive o! Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive o! This song and many other traditional Irish folk songs - found on Myths and Traditions of Irish & Celtic Music CD from Amazon.com Traditional Irish Songs
