MOLLY MALONE | Who Sings It Better?

Molly Malone is a ghost story from Dublin, Ireland. It was inspired by a women believed to have lived at the end of the 17th century. She was fishmonger and also believed to be a prostitute who died from a fever. Her ghost is believed to still walk the streets. The song first appeared in the late 1800s. I've heard dozens of beautiful versions of it. I love mine, but I also love the version sung by Jesse Ferguson. You can listen to his here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoz2LDNmRc0 Once you listen, I have a question. Who's version do you like better: Mine or Jesse's? Or is there a different version you prefer? Post it in the comments below. As a side note, I frequently screw up the lyrics. That's because a friend rewrote the lyrics for my Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers album series.

"Alive, alive, oh, Alive, alive, oh," Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh". She was a fishmonger, But sure 'twas no wonder, For so were her father and mother before, And they wheeled their barrows, Through the streets broad and narrow, Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!" She died of a fever, And no one could save her, And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone. But her ghost wheels her barrow, Through streets broad and narrow, Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!" ABOUT CELTFATHER MUSIC & TRAVEL Marc Gunn is a geek musician who loves to travel.
