G D7
In Dublin’s fair city, where girls are so pretty
G D7
’Twas there that I first met sweet Molly Malone
G D7
She wheeled her wheelbarrow through streets broad and narrow
G D7 G
Crying, “cockels and mussels alive, alive-o”
G D7
Alive, alive-o, alive, alive-o
G D7 G
Crying, “cockels and mussels alive, alive-o
G D7
She was a fishmonger, but sure ’twas no wonder
G D7
For so were her father and mother before
G
And they each wheeled their barrow
D7
through streets broad and narrow
CHORUS
The author of this website has put a lot of time and effort into gathering the greatest collection of sea shanties for the world to enjoy - There are songs that have been to sung to a job of work at sea for many, many years and collecting them has been a great endeavour. - Roger Chartier has made the effort out of his own interest and the requests that he has gotten to do this work from fellow musicians who wanted a good source of sea shanties to draw on and learn from. He has been told that for this effort he is a remarkable man.
