I’m a decent good Irish body
Language: English 
I’m a decent good Irish body
And I come from the County Tyrone,
I can do with a rale glass of toddy
And my name it is Mollie Malone.

I can whistle and sing like a starling
By the youngsters I couldn’t be bet.
Whisper I’ll tell you my darling,
I’m as good as they’re making them yet.
