Cockles and Mussels!

This is the traditional Irish whistle(like Scottish,pipe). And one friend of mine helped me sing this song, and I sang along with him. I don't know the music notes. Else I would have wrote that down too..but it was one of the most beautiful songs I have heard...simple, yet so sweet and easy to sing, in tune...Its a traditional song, in Ireland and in kerala we call them "naadan paatuukal". This is it:

Cockles And Mussels.
"alive alive oh alive alive ohh
Singing cockles and mussels alive alive ohhh


In Dublin's fair city
Where the girls are so pretty
I once met a girl named sweet Molly Malone
And she wheeled her wheel barrow
Through the streets broad and narrow
Singing cockles and mussels alive alive oh


She was a fish monger
And sure was no wonder
So were her mother and father before
And they wheeled their wheel barrow
Through the streets broad and narrow
Singing cockles and mussels alive alive oh


She died of a fever
And so one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
Now her ghost wheels her barrow through the streets broad and narrow
Singing cockles and mussels alive alive oh


She wheels her wheel barrrow
Thought the streets broad and narrow
Her barrow is narrow
Her hipa are too wide
And whenever she wheels it
The neighborhood feels it
Her girdle keeps brushin' the homes on each side


It's not just her fat but,
it's not only that but,
she's cockeyed and musclebound Molly Malone
Alive alive oh
Alive alive ohh
Singing cockles and mussels
Alive alive ohhh..."

note: she must have been damn popular, that she is still remembered!!!
