The Keach I' the Creel (Roud 120, Child 281), also known as The Ride in the Creel or The Wee Toun Clerk, is an English-language folk song, originating from England and Scotland sometime in the early 1800s.
[1] A young woman tells a man that her parents keep her too close for them to meet.
The man has his brother make a ladder and a pulley to hoist a basket (creel) down the chimney; the ladder takes him to the chimney, and riding in the large creel he is lowered into her bedroom.
Her mother guesses there is a man in the daughter's bed and sends the father.
She trips and is caught ("keach" being catch, "keach i' the creel" being "the catch in the basket" - usually referring to fish caught and stored in a basket slung from the fisherman's hip or shoulder) in the creel and tossed all about in it; the father professes that he's fed up with all of them, for he's had no rest all the night with the goings-on.
