Molly Malone is said to be the unofficial song of Dublin… and you can find her statue on Grafton Street (near Trinity College).
Where the girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
As she wheeled her wheel-barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, ‘Cockles and mussels, alive, oh!’
‘Alive, alive, oh,
Alive, alive, oh’,
Crying ‘Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, o’.â€
If you have been to Dublin, you will probably recognize this regular figure who seem to accompany Molly Malone all the time on Grafton Street. The old man is a street musician, as well as a real entertainer who has the habit of dancing his cares away with Dublin’s tourists. Of course for a fee.
Nothing is free in this world. Especially not for the Irish and the on-going massive Euro bail out. Good luck.
