Hole in her shoe

[Barbarafb]

Anyone recognise these words from an old song?

She's got a hole in her pocket, a hole in her shoe, a hole in her sock where her toe peeps through, she was the smartest down our alley.......

Is it part of "On Mother Kelly's Doorstep". Would be grateful for confirmation - or otherwise!

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?

Many thanks indeed ChocClare. You've saved my sanity. I was going more than a little mad trying to remember.

You're very welcome!

My nan knew the song well but she had an alternatative version, it went like this:

"She's got a little hole in her frock,
Hole in her shoe,
A hole in her arse
where the Sugar comes through!"
