| Molly Malone Lyrics: In Dublin's fair city, Where girls are so pretty, I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone, As she pushed her wheelbarrow Through streets broad and narrow, Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh!" Alive, alive oh! alive, alive oh! Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh!" Now she was a fishmonger, And sure twas no wonder, For so were her mother and father before, And they each wheeled their barrow, Through streets broad 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 Molly Malone. Now her ghost wheels her barrow, Through streets broad and narrow, Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh! |
// Irish Historical Mysteries: Molly Malone
As well as being known and sung internationally, the popular song 'Cockles and Mussels' has become a sort of unofficial anthem of Dublin city. The song's tragic heroine Molly Malone and her barrow have come to stand as one of the most familiar symbols of the capital. In addition, Molly's international pulling power is shown by the fact that she scores hundreds of 'hits' on the Internet, many of them relating to 'Irish pubs' bearing her name. It seems perfectly natural therefore that Molly should have been commemorated by erecting a statue to her in Dublin, which monument has become a familiar landmark at the corner of Grafton Street and Suffolk Street. Let us now travel back in time to see what we can find out about the real Molly Malone.

// The Irish Diaspora
During the years of 1845 to 1850, Ireland suffered through a terrible famine. At the end of it, fully one quarter of the population had died, and half had emigrated all over the world, but especially to America.
Once established in other parts of the world, this Irish population started looking back to its roots, including the traditional forms of music. The locus of social interaction had changed from homes and churches to the local pub, where musicians would meet after the work day and exchange tunes.
