Molly Malone lyrics
by Joni Mitchell
In Dublin's fair city
Where girls are so pretty
It was there that I first met sweet Molly Malone
She wheeled her wheelbarrow
Through the streets broad and narrow
Crying "c*ckles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"
Alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh
Crying "c*ckles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"
Now she was a fishmonger
And sure, t'was no wonder
For her father and mother
Were fishmongers too
And they both wheeled their barrow
Through the streets broad and narrow
Crying "c*ckles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"
Alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh
Crying "c*ckles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"
Now she died of a fever
And no one could save her
Was then that I lost sweet Molly Malone
Now her ghost wheels her barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying "c*ckles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"
Alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh
Crying "c*ckles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"
