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).

GEmAm In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty, GE7A7D7 I first set my eyes on sweet Molloy Malone. GEmD7 She wheeled a wheelbarrow, through streets broad and narrow, GDAmEmDG Crying: Cockles and Mussels, Alive, Alive O.
[Chorus]
GEm Alive, alive O, AmD7 Alive, alive O, GD Crying, Cockles and Mussels, AmEmD7G Alive, alive O.
[Verse Two]
GEmAm She was a fishmonger, and sure twas no wonder, GE7A7D7 For so were her Father and Mother before. GEmD7 And they all wheeled their barrows, through streets broad and narrow, GDAmEmDG Crying Cockles and Mussels, Alive, alive O.
[Chorus]
GEm Alive, alive O, AmD7 Alive, alive O, GD Crying, Cockles and Mussels, AmEmD7G Alive, alive O.
[Verse Three]
GEmAm She died of a fever, and no one to grieve her, GE7A7D7 And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone. GEmD7 Now her ghost wheels her barrow, through streets broad and narrow, GDAmEmDG Crying: Cockles and Mussels, alive, alive O.
[Chorus]
GEm Alive, alive O AmD7 Alive, alive O GD Crying, Cockles and Mussels AmEmD7G Alive, alive O
