Lyrics

[00:23.97] Raised on songs & stories, heroes of re-known
[00:34.76] The passing tales & glories that once was Dublin town
[00:47.49] The hallowed halls & houses, the haunting childrens' rhymes
[00:58.52] That once was Dublin city in the rare ould times
[01:11.74] Ring a ring a rosie, as the light declines
[01:20.83] I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times
[01:40.26] The years have made me bitter, the gargle dims my brain
[01:51.31] 'Cause Dublin keeps on changing & nothing stays the same
[02:02.35] The Pillar & the Met have gone, the Royal long since pulled down
[02:12.34] As the great unyielding concrete makes a city of my town
[02:24.64] Ring a ring a rosie, as the light declines
[02:35.05] I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times
[02:47.92] Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey, I can no longer stay
[02:58.07] & watch the new glass cages, that spring up along the quay
[03:08.07] My mind's too full of memories, too old to hear new chimes
[03:17.95] I'm part of what was Dublin in the rare ould times
[03:29.73] Ring a ring a rosie, as the light declines
[03:41.25] I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times
[04:05.30] In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty
[04:08.92] I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
[04:12.76] As she wheeled her wheelbarrow through the streets broad and narrow
[04:16.30] Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive O
[04:20.20] Alive, alive O, alive, alive O
[04:24.76] Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive O
[04:28.95] She was a fishmonger and sure 'twas no wonder
[04:32.25] For so were her father and mother before
[04:36.53] And they wheeled their barrows through streets broad and narrow
[04:40.79] Crying cockles and mussels alive alive O
[04:45.51] Alive, alive O, alive, alive O
[04:49.57] Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive O
[05:04.53] She died of a fever and sure no one could save her
[05:12.15] And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
[05:19.48] Now her ghost wheels her barrow through the streets broad and narrow
[05:27.30] Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive O
[05:43.76] Alive, alive O, alive, alive O
[05:48.31] Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive O
[05:52.55] Alive, alive O, alive, alive O
[05:56.91] Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive O
