Irish Ballads & Folk

"Goodbye to Molly Malone" is a heartfelt, modern folk-ballad that recalls a classic symbol of Irish heritage. The iconic image of Molly Malone has been part of the Dublin image for many years. This song laments the passing of old Dublin ways and a simpler way of life as represented by Molly. The song recalls an Ireland and a city now fading and overrun by modern ways. 

With emotional vocals, traditional melodic undertones, and a rich acoustic backdrop, this track is a soulful tribute to memory, place, and identity — saying farewell while holding tight to what matters.

This song was written by Mark with good friend, artist and musician  Frank O'Dea
