Molly Malone - Joni Mitchell

In Dublin’s fair City, where the Girls are so pretty

I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone

As she wheeled her wheelbarrow

Through the streets broad and narrow

Cryin' cockles and muscles, alive, alive oh!

Alive, alive oh!

Alive, alive oh!

Cryin' cockles and muscles, alive, alive oh!

She was a fishmonger, but sure’t was no wonder

For so were her father and mother before

As they each wheeled there barrow

Through the streets broad and narrow

Cryin' cockles and muscles, alive, alive oh!

Alive, alive oh!

Alive, alive oh!

Cryin' cockles and muscles, alive, alive oh!

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

Through streets broad and narrow

Cryin' cockles and muscles, alive, alive oh!

Alive, alive oh!

Alive, alive oh!

Cryin' cockles and muscles, alive, alive oh!

Cockles and muscles (2x)
