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

On Mother Kelly's doorstep down Paradise Row
