Ruby Murray was a favorite singer of Irish songs in the early 1960s. We had an LP record by her in the Male Common Room next to the Canteen at the Medical Faculty, Colombo. Here are some songs of those years. Click on each of the blue underlined links to hear them. Hope you enjoy listening to them.
When Irish eyes are smiling -
With Lyrics
Danny boy
Galway Bay
Let him go let him tarry
When I grow too old to dream

And not to forget Cockles and Mussels which gave me a clue to what Molly Malone died of -Typhoid -('She died of a fever and no one could save her', there was no Chloramphenicol those days) after consuming uncooked the unsold Cockles and Mussels.

In Dublin’s Fair city
- In dublin's fair city, where girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
She wheeled a wheel-barrow, through streets broad and narrow
Crying: cockles and Mussels a-live, a-live oh
Alive, a-live oh, a-live a-live oh
Crying,. cockles and mussels a-live, a-live oh - She was a fishmonger, and sure 'twas no wonder
For so were her father and mother before
And they both wheeled their barrow,
through streets broad and narrow
Crying: cockles and Mussels a-live, a-live oh
Alive, a-live oh, a-live a-live oh
Crying,. cockles and mussels a-live, a-live oh - She died of a fever, and no one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
But her ghost wheels her barrow,
through streets broad and narrow
Crying: cockles and Mussels a-live, a-live oh
Alive, a-live oh, a-live a-live oh
Crying,. cockles and mussels a-live, a-live oh
