She was a fishmonger,

But sure t’was no wonder,

For so were her father

And mother before.

And they both wheeled their barrow,

Through the streets wide and narrow,

Crying ‘Cockles and Mussels,

Alive, alive, oh’.

She died of a fever,

And no one could save her

And that was the end

Of sweet Mollie Malone.

Now her ghost wheels her barrow,

Through the streets broad and narrow,

Crying ‘Cockles and Mussels,

Alive, alive, oh’.

And that was the end

Of sweet Mollie Malone.

Now her ghost wheels her barrow,

Through the streets broad and narrow,

Crying ‘Cockles and Mussels,
