From Molly Malone
"She was a fishmonger, and sure, 'twas no wonder,
Her father and mother they both monged fish too,"

At least, that's what I sing....

"She was a fishmonger, and sure, 'twas no wonder,
For so were her father and mother before,"

is the version that I know. The DT has much the same but with "father and mother" reversed to "mother and father".


A fellmonger sells animal hides.
