On Mother Kelly's doorstep
(Written by George A. Stevens - 1925)

On Mother Kelly's doorstep,
Down Paradise Row.
I sit alonga Nellie,
She sits alonga Joe.
She's got a little hole in her frock,
Hole in her shoe,
Hole in her sock
Where her toe peeps through,
But Nellie was the smartest down our alley.


On Mother Kelly's doorstep,
I'm wondering now
If little girl Nellie
Remembers Joe,
Her beau,
And does she love him like she used to
On Mother Kelly's doorstep,
Down Paradise Row?
