Molly Malone Songtext
von The Dubliners

In Dublin′s fair city
Where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow
Through streets broad and narrow

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


She was a fishmonger
And sure 'twas no wonder
For so were her father and mother before
And they both wheeled their barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying

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

She died of a fever
No one could save 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, oh"
Alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh
Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"
