Chords with lyrics
Most people just sing the chorus to this music hall sing along song as
the verses are mostly half sung/half spoken or not used at all!
I have tabbed the verses from various sources so any improvements welcome.
Intro = C majorC E minorEm A minorAm G+G D MajorD
Verse 1
D MajorD G+G A minorAm
I've just been lingering all alone
C majorC D MajorD
Down Paradise Row
G+G A minorAm D MajorD
When I was a kiddy I'd a sweetheart
C majorC D MajorD
Down there we would go
E minorEm D MajorD
I'd call her Nelly and she'd call me Joe
A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD
And we would romp there hand in hand
E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD
Then we'd both sit down on a doorstep there
A augmentedA D MajorD
And we'd picture the future grand
Chorus
C majorC D MajorD G+G
On Mother Kelly's doorstep down Paradise Row
D MajorD G+G
I'd sit along o' Nelly she'd sit along o' Joe
E minorEm
She'd got a little hole in her frock
B minorBm C majorC G+G
Hole in her shoe hole in her sock where her toe peeped through
A augmentedA D MajorD
But Nelly was the smartest down our alley
C majorC D MajorD G+G
On Mother Kelly's doorstep I'm wondering now

And does she love me like she used to
C majorC D MajorD G+G
On Mother Kelly's doorstep down Paradise Row
Verse 2

The cobblestones were a meadow sweet
C majorC D MajorD
To Nelly and me
G+G A minorAm D MajorD
The smoky chimney on the housetop

Was a beautiful tree
E minorEm D MajorD
And old Brown's donkey was a big baa lamb

And Mother Kelly in the house
E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm D MajorD
On a wash day holding her pail
A augmentedA D MajorD
Was Mary the milkmaid milking cows
