Ruby Murray ~ Cockles and Mussels (Molly Malone)

From the album ’It’s the Irish In Me’. Lyrics: In Dublin’s fair city Where girls are so pretty ’Twas there I first met with Sweet Molly Malone She drove a wheelbarrow Through streets broad and narrow Crying, “Cockles and mussels, Alive, alive-o“ Alive, alive-o Alive, alive-o Crying, “Cockles and mussels, Alive, alive-o“ She was a fishmonger But sure ’twas no wonder For so were her mother And father before They drove their wheelbarrows Through streets broad and narrow Crying, “Cockles and mussels, Alive, alive-o“ Alive, alive-o Alive, alive-o Crying, “Cockles and mussels, Alive, alive-o“ She died of a fever And nothing could save her And that was the end of Poor Molly Malone Her ghost wheels a barrow Through streets broad and narrow Crying, “Cockles and mussels, Alive, alive-o“ Alive, alive-o Alive, alive-o Crying, “Cockles and mussels, Alive, alive-o“
