Molly Malone

Molly Malone is a fictitious woman, whose 'life story' is told in the unofficial anthem of Dublin City. According to the song, named 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 wheel-barrow,

through streets broad and narrow,

crying cockles and muscles,

alive-a-live-oh!

A live-a-live-oh.

Crying cockles and muscles,

A live-a-live-oh.

Molly Malone is commemorated in a statue located at the bottom of Grafton Street in Dublin.
