019 Cockles and Mussels

(Sung to the tune of "Molly Malone")

CHORUS:Alive, alive-o, alive, alive-o

Singing cockles and mussels

Alive, alive-o.

In Dublin's fair city where girls are so pretty

I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone

As she wheeled her wheel barrow, through streets broad and narrow

Singing 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 wheeled the barrow, through streets broad and narrow

Singing 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

Her ghost wheels her barrow, through streets broad and narrow

Singing cockles and mussels alive, alive-o.
