From the folk song ‘Molly Malone’:

In Dublin’s fair city

Where the maids are so pretty

I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone

She wheels her wheel-barrow

Through streets broad and narrow

Crying ‘cockles and mussels alive alive-o’

I am told that the statue that was put up in Dublin in honour of Molly was such an artistic failure, that it is now fondly known by the Dubliners as “The Tart with the Cart”.
