Cockles and Mussles

 

      D                                   A7

In Dublin's fair city where the girls are so pretty
   D                                   A

I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
           D

As she wheeled her wheelbarrow
                   A7

Through the streets broad and narrow
             D       G      D          G  D   A7     D

Crying "cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"

 

 

          D                    A7

Alive, alive, oh! Alive, alive, oh!
                     D       G      D          G  D   A7    D

Crying "cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"

 

 

        D                             A7

She was a fishmonger and sure, t'was no wonder
     D                                 A

For so were her mother and father before
              D

And they wheeled their barrow
                   A7

Through the streets broad and narrow
             D        G      D          G  D   A7     D

Crying "cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"

 

 

          D                    A7

Alive, alive, oh! Alive, alive, oh! …

 

        D                             A7

She died of a fever and so noone could save her
     D                                    A

And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
              D

Now her ghost wheels her barrow
                   A7

Through the streets broad and narrow
             D        G      D          G  D   A7     D

Crying "cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"

 

 

          D                    A7

Alive, alive, oh! Alive, alive, oh!
                     D       G      D          G  D   A7    D

Crying "cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"
