Alive, alive O 5 -4 5 6 -5 5 6 -5 5 4 -4 4 Crying 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 wheel'dtheir barrow Thro' streets broad and narrow, (Repeat Chorus) She died of a fever And no one could save her, And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone; But her ghost wheels her barrow Thro' streets broad and narrow (Repeat Chorus) |
