On Mother Kellys Door Step chords by Traditional

Guitar 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 Em Am G D

Verse 1
D              G              Am
I've just been lingering all alone
     C        D
Down Paradise Row
             G           Am   D
When I was a kiddy I'd a sweetheart
     C              D
Down there we would go
             Em                      D
I'd call her Nelly and she'd call me Joe
             Am         Em      D
And we would romp there hand in hand
          Em       Am        Em       D
Then we'd both sit down on a doorstep there
         A                  D
And we'd picture the future grand

Chorus
                  C    D                 G
On Mother Kelly's doorstep down Paradise Row
                 D                        G
I'd sit along o' Nelly she'd sit along o' Joe
                   Em
She'd got a little hole in her frock
Bm               C                          G
Hole in her shoe hole in her sock where her toe peeped through
    A                               D
But Nelly was the smartest down our alley
                  C    D                 G
On Mother Kelly's doorstep I'm wondering now
            D                       G
If li'l gal Nelly remembers Joe her beau
             Em               D
And does she love me like she used to
                  C    D                 G
On Mother Kelly's doorstep down Paradise Row

Verse 2
    D            G             Am
The cobblestones were a meadow sweet
   C         D
To Nelly and me
          G              Am     D
The smoky chimney on the housetop
      C         D
Was a beautiful tree
                Em                   D
And old Brown's donkey was a big baa lamb
    Am           Em     D
And Mother Kelly in the house
Em   Am       Em          D
On a wash day holding her pail
    A                         D
Was Mary the milkmaid milking cows

Chorus
                  C    D                 G
On Mother Kelly's doorstep down Paradise Row
                 D                        G
I'd sit along o' Nelly she'd sit along o' Joe
                   Em
She'd got a little hole in her frock
Bm               C                          G
Hole in her shoe hole in her sock where her toe peeped through
    A                               D
But Nelly was the smartest down our alley
                  C    D                 G
On Mother Kelly's doorstep I'm wondering now
            D                       G
If li'l gal Nelly remembers Joe her beau
             Em               D
And does she love me like she used to
                  C    D                 G
On Mother Kelly's doorstep down Paradise Row

Repeat chorus
                  C    D                 G
On Mother Kelly's doorstep down Paradise Row
                 D                        G
I'd sit along o' Nelly she'd sit along o' Joe
                   Em
She'd got a little hole in her frock
Bm               C                          G
Hole in her shoe hole in her sock where her toe peeped through
    A                               D
But Nelly was the smartest down our alley
                  C    D                 G
On Mother Kelly's doorstep I'm wondering now
            D                       G
If li'l gal Nelly remembers Joe her beau
             Em               D
And does she love me like she used to
                  C    D                 G
