Molly Malone lyrics
by Steve Earle
[Verse 1]
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 the streets broad and narrow
Crying "c*ckles and mussels, alive, alive, oh”
[Verse 2]
She was a fishmonger
And sure, t'was no wonder
For so were her father and mother before
And they wheeled their wheelbarrows
Through the streets broad and narrow
Crying "c*ckles and mussels, alive, alive, oh”
[Chorus]
Alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh
Crying "c*ckles and mussels, alive, alive, oh”
Alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh
"c*ckles and mussels, alive, alive, oh”
[Verse 3]
She died of a fever
And no-one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
Now her ghost wheels her barrow
Through the streets broad and narrow
Crying "c*ckles and mussels, alive, alive, oh”
[Chorus]
Alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh
Crying "c*ckles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"
Alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh
Crying "c*ckles and mussels, alive, alive, oh”
[Outro]
Alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh
Crying "c*ckles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"
"c*ckles and mussels, alive, alive, oh”
