The Creel Paul Brady

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
