On Mother Kellys Door Step

Intro = verse 1 I've just been lingering all alone Down Paradise Row When I was a kiddy I'd a sweetheart Down there we would go I'd call her Nelly and she'd call me Joe And we would romp there hand in hand Then we'd both sit down on a doorstep there And we'd picture the future grand On Mother Kelly's doorstep down Paradise Row I'd sit along o' Nelly she'd sit along o' Joe She'd got a little hole in her frock Hole in her shoe hole in her sock where her toe peeped through But Nelly was the smartest down our alley On Mother Kelly's doorstep I'm wondering now If li'l gal Nelly remembers Joe her beau And does she love me like she used to On Mother Kelly's doorstep down Paradise Row verse 2 The cobblestones were a meadow sweet To Nelly and me The smoky chimney on the housetop Was a beautiful tree And old Brown's donkey was a big baa lamb And Mother Kelly in the house On a wash day holding her pail Was Mary the milkmaid milking cows On Mother Kelly's doorstep down Paradise Row I'd sit along o' Nelly she'd sit along o' Joe She'd got a little hole in her frock Hole in her shoe hole in her sock where her toe peeped through But Nelly was the smartest down our alley On Mother Kelly's doorstep I'm wondering now If li'l gal Nelly remembers Joe her beau And does she love me like she used to On Mother Kelly's doorstep down Paradise Row On Mother Kelly's doorstep down Paradise Row I'd sit along o' Nelly she'd sit along o' Joe She'd got a little hole in her frock Hole in her shoe hole in her sock where her toe peeped through But Nelly was the smartest down our alley On Mother Kelly's doorstep I'm wondering now If li'l gal Nelly remembers Joe her beau And does she love me like she used to On Mother Kelly's doorstep down Paradise Row
