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 little girl Nelly remembers Joe
Her beau And does she love him
Like she used to on Mother Kelly's doorstep
Down Paradise row
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 little girl Nelly
Remembers Joe her beau
And does she love him like she used to
On Mother Kelly's doorstep down Paradise row
