W: 1. In Dublin's fair city
W:    Where the girls are so pretty
W:    I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
W:    As she wheeled her wheelbarrow
W:    Through streets broad and narrow
W:    Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
W:
W: Chorus:
W:    Alive, alive, oh
W:    Alive, alive, oh
W:    Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"
W:
W: 2. She was a fishmonger
W:    And sure 'twas no wonder
W:    For so were her father and mother before
W:    And they both wheeled their barrows
W:    Through streets broad and narrow
W:    Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh
W:
W: Chorus:
W:    Alive, alive, oh
W:    Alive, alive, oh
W:    Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"
W:
W: 3. She died of a fever
W:    And no one could save her
W:    And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
W:    But her ghost wheels her barrow
W:    Through streets broad and narrow
W:    Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh
W:
W: Chorus:
W:    Alive, alive, oh
W:    Alive, alive, oh
W:    Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"
W:
W: Chorus:
W:    Alive, alive, oh
W:    Alive, alive, oh
W:    Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"
