Molly Malone (2)
(Joe Bethancourt)

In Dublin's fair city, where the girls have no titties
T'was there that I first met sweet Molly Malone
You could have her for a penny, and be one of many,
But for sixpence she would act alive, alive-o!

      Alive, alive-o! Alive alive-o!
      But for sixpence she would act alive, alive-o!

She was a street walker, and sure t'was no wonder
For so were her mother and grandmother too,
With a mattress on the barrow, thru streets broad and narrow, And for
sixpence they would act alive, alive-o!

      Alive, alive-o! Alive alive-o!
      And for sixpence they would act alive, alive-o!

She died of a fever, and no one could save her;
It was caught from a folkie from Ontario,
Now her ghost wheels the barrow thru streets broad and narrow But a
ghost can't be had that's alive, alive-o!

         Alive, alive-o! Alive alive-o!
         But a ghost can't be had that's alive, alive-o!
