Paul Brady - The Creel lyrics
As I roved out on a moonlight night Excitement for to find I met on the way with a pretty little girl And I asked her to be mine Chorus With me tooraya folderiddle da Me tooray-a right folderiddle-antin-ido How can I get to your father's house How can I get to your bed Oh me father locks the door at night And the key lies under his head If you get a ladder, thirty foot Thirty foot and three And place it up to the chimney top Come down in a creel to me So I got me a ladder, thirty foot Thirty foot and three And I placed it up to the chimney top And down in a creel came me But the old one she being still awake Heard something that was said I'll lay me life, said the silly old wife There's a man in me daughter's bed The old man he got out of bed For to see if it was true But she's pushed me down with her lily-white arms Under the coverlet blue Where are you going father, dear Where are you going so late You've disturbed me at my evening prayers And, oh, but they were sweet Well, the Divil take you silly old wife And an ill death may you die For your daughter's lying with the book in her arms And she's praying for you and I But the old one she being still awake When something else was said You can say what you like you silly old fool There's a man in your daughter's bed No rest no peace could the old one get 'til she got up to see But her foot gave a shot to the chamber pot And into the creel fell she Rise and help me husband, dear Rise and help me now For the one that you have wished to me I fear he has me now Well, the hoult he's got I hope he keeps And never lets it go For between yourself and your daughter dear It's time for the cock to crow Well, I rocked her up and I rocked her down And I gave her a great downfall 'Til every rib in the old woman's side Played "Nick-nack" against the wall And it's oh the blue the bonny blue And may the blue do well And every old woman 'd refuse her daughter Rocked in a creel to hell |
