2007_07_24 In Dublin's fair city |
Irish Folksong |
When
hitch-hiking today from the new train-station "Lehavim" to Arad I was picked up by two women on their way to the Dead Sea. One was the tourist - an Irish woman from Dublin! Our talk made me remember the song I so often sang |
I
tried to adapt my singing to the somewhat akward transpositions in one
of the midi-tunes |
This
is the version -with two midi-tunes - I found on the Internet 1. 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"! Chorus: Alive, alive oh! alive, alive oh! Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive oh"! 2. 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"! Chorus: 3. 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"! Chorus: |
The version I learnt some 40 years ago 1. In Dublin, the city, 2. She was a fishmonger, 3. She died of the fever, |
Here is a very different Irish song:
