I prepared this song to get my students ready for Quiz Night on Saint Patrick's Day, 17th March, 2020. Unfortunately, it could never be practised or sung. I hope we will all be able to sing it soon even though not at the right time.
The students listen to the song once, identify and underline the words that do not correspond to the actual words. They ckeck with their partners and listen again. This time they write down the right words and check with their partners.
Students in groups of four work out the meaning of new words.Of course, they sing the song, once or twice. 🔊 Molly Malone
MOLLY MALONE
(The Dubliners)
(The Dubliners)
In Dublin’s fair city
where the women are so charming
I first set my sight on nice Molly Malone
As she pushed her wheelbarrow
Through streets wide and close
Crying, “Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh”
Chorus
“Alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh”
Crying, “Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh”
She was a fish finger
And sure ‘twas no wonder
For so were her mother and father before
And each pushed their parrot
Through streets wide and close
Crying, “Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh”
Chorus

ANSWER
MOLLY MALONE
In Dublin’s fair city
where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled 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”
She was a fishmonger
And sure ‘twas no wonder
For so were her father and mother before
And each wheeled their barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying, “Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh”
Chorus
