מילים לשיר The Keach In The Creel – Subway To Sally

A fair young maid went up the street
some white fish for to by
and he followed her by and by
a bonnie clerk's fall'n in love with her
oh where are you going my bonnie lass
oh if the night be never so dark
I pray thee tell to me I'll come and visit thee
my father locks the door at ten
my mother keeps the key
you'd never win but the clerk he had a brother
if you were never such a roving blade
he's made him a long ladder
and a wily wag was he
with thirty steps and three the old wife she was standing by
she heard a word was said
there's a man in our daughter's bed
the old man he got out of bed
to see if the thing was true
I could lay my life, says the silly old wife
but she's taken the bonny clerk in her arms
and covered him o'er with blue up then got the old silly wife
to see if it were true
and she fell arselins in the creel
and up the string they drew
if that foul thief has gotten you
for you'll never stay in your bed
may he hold you so tight
nor rest with me at night
he's towed her up, he's towed her down played nick and given her a right down till every rib an the old wife's side
and I wish it may do well
oh the blue, the bonnie bonnie blue
and every old wife that's jealous of her daughter
get a good keach in the creel.
