W:1
W:In Dublin's fair city, Where the girls are so pretty,
W:I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
W:As she wheeled her wheel-barrow,
W:Through streets broad and narrow,
W:
W:ch
W:Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
W:"Alive, alive, oh,
W:Alive, alive, oh,"
W:Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh".

W:2
W:She was a fishmonger, But sure 'twas no wonder,
W:For so were her father and mother before,
W:And they wheeled their barrows,
W:Through the streets broad and narrow,
W:
W:3
W:She died of a fever, And no one could save her,
W:And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.
W:But her ghost wheels her barrow,
W:Through streets broad and narrow,
