3/4 time slow.

6   7  7     7   7  8 
In Dublin's fair city,

-8     7    8  8 8  8 9
where the girls are so pretty

-8  8   8  7   9  9    8   8  8  7 8
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone

6   7     7     7    7    8  7
As she wheel'd her wheel barrow 

-8      8    8     8   9  8  8  
Through the streets broad and narrow

Chorus:

9  -9    8   9  9   8   7 8  7   6  7  7 
Crying "Cockles and Mussels alive, alive-O!

7  7   8  7 8  8 8 8 9 8
Alive, alive-O! Alive, alive-O!

8   9  9   8   9  9   8   7  8   7 -8 7  
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
