[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

                  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
