Lake School of Celtic Music, Song and Dance

Slow Session

Sheet Music with Chords

Prepared by Mark J. and Lisa B. McDonnell

Important Note:

Sheet music should be viewed only as a guide as to how the actual tunes are played at sessions. Because Celtic

traditional music comes from an aural tradition, the actual notes, chords and rhythm may vary depending on

who is playing and where it is being played.

We would like to thank Connor Hickey for his assistance in editing the sheet music.

In Dublin's fair cityWhere the girls are so prettyI first set my eyes on sweet Molly MaloneAs she wheeled her wheelbarrowThrough the streets broad and narrowCrying "cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh“

CHORUS

Chorus:Alive, alive, ohAlive, alive, ohCrying "cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"

She was a fishmongerAnd sure, t'was no wonderFor so were her mother and father beforeAnd they wheeled their barrowThrough the streets broad and narrowCrying "cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh”

CHORUS

She died of a feverAnd sure, so one could save herAnd that was the end of sweet Molly MaloneNow her ghost wheels her barrowThrough streets broad and narrowCrying “cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh”

I'll tell my ma when I get home,

The boys won't leave the girls alone

They pull my hair and stole my comb

But that's all right till I go home

She is handsome, she is pretty,

She is the Belle of Belfast city

She is a courtin' one, two, three,

Please won't you tell me who is she

Albert Mooney says he loves her,

All the boys are fightin' for her

Knock at the door and ring at the bell,

Saying oh my true love, are you well

Out she comes as white as snow,

Rings on her fingers, bells on her toes

Old Johnny Morrissey says she'll die

If she doesn't get the fella with the roving eye

Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high

And the snow come travellin' through the sky

She's as sweet as apple pie,

She'll get her own lad by and by

When she gets a lad of her own

She won't tell her ma when she gets home

Let them all come as they will

For it's Albert Mooney she loves still

CHORUS

The gypsy rover came over the hill, down through the valley so shady, He

whistled and he sang ‘til the greenwoods rang, and he won the heart of a la---dy.

He whistled and he sang ‘til the greenwoods rang,

She left her father’s castle gates, she left her own fine lover She left her servants and her state to follow the gypsy rover.

CHORUS

Her father saddled up his fastest steed and roamed the valleys all over Sought his daughter at great speed and the whistling gypsy rover.

CHORUS

He came at last to a mansion fine, down by the river Claydee And there was music and there was wine, for the gypsy and his lady.

Chorus

“He is no gypsy, my father” she said, “ but lord of these lands all over, And I shall stay “til my dying day with my whistling gypsy rover.”
