The Dubliners was an Irish folk band founded in Dublin, Ireland, in 1962. One of the most influential Irish acts of the 20th century, they celebrated 50 years together in 2012, making them Ireland's longest surviving musical act. Also in 2012, the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards bestowed them with a Lifetime Achievement Award. The group announced their retirement in the autumn of 2012 following the death of founding member Barney McKenna (born 16 December 1939; died 5 April 2012).

CAmDmG7 In Dublin's fair city where the girls are so pretty CAmDmG I first set my eyes on sweet Molloy Malone CAmDmG7 She wheeled a wheelbarrow through streets broad and narrow CAm Crying cockles and mussels DmGC Alive Alive O
Chorus: CAm Alive alive O DmG7 Alive alive O CAm Crying cockles and mussels DmGC Alive alive O
She was a fishmonger and sure twas no wonder For so were her Father and Mother before And they all wheeled their barrows through streets broad and narrow Crying Cockles and Mussels Alive alive O
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 O
