Molly Malone Songtext
von Pete Seeger

In Dublin′s fair city
Where girls are so pretty
'Twas there I first met sweet Molly Malone
She wheeled a wheelbarrow
Through streets long and narrow

Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
Alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh
Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"


She was a fishmonger
And sure ′twas no wonder
For her father and mother were fishmongers too
And they wheeled a wheelbarrow
Through streets long and narrow

Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
Alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh
Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"

She died of a fever
Of which none could relieve her
And thus I lost my Molly Malone
Now her ghost wheels the barrow
Through streets long and narrow

Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
Alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh
Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
