On Mother Kelly's doorstep,
Down Paradise Row,
I'd sit along o' Nelly,
She'd sit along o'Joe.

She's 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 gal Nelly, remembers Joe, her beau,
And does she love me like she used to,
On Mother Kelly's door step,
Down Paradise Row
