It was one night in sweet July When the woods were clear and the moon was high Then three young lads on mischief bent And away to the Brandon laws they went Little na doo ron-ant-a-nigh Oh little na doo ron-ant-a-nan So away for a ladder then they did go And they placed it up against the window so And up that ladder young Johnny he went And his true love Jean was his intent Little na doo ron-ant-a-nigh Oh little na doo ron-ant-a-nan He stayed in there 'til after two 'Til the light of the dawn came peeping through Then oh bonny lass come away for the fear I hear old Tom coming up the stairs Little na doo ron-ant-a-nigh Oh little na doo ron-ant-a-nan Then down that ladder how Johnny did run Singing get away lads here comes old Tom And oh the bent like hares we ran We hid in the meadow where the hay was long Little na doo ron-ant-a-nigh Oh little na doo ron-ant-a-nan So then this plan did I propose That we three back to the ladder would go We carried the blooming thing out of sight And we hied it right o'er the dyke Little na doo ron-ant-a-nigh Oh little na doo ron-ant-a-nan Next morning when old Tom arose It's straight to the broken ladder he goes When he saw it lying there He cursed he roared and he tore his hair Little na doo ron-ant-a-nigh Oh little na doo ron-ant-a-nan Then straight to the cook with all his might Saying Jean it's been such an awful night So sit you down and tell me plain And won't you give me every last one of their names Little na doo ron-ant-a-nigh Oh little na doo ron-ant-a-nan To give you all their names I'll do what I can But I can't swear it's them for fear I'm wrong There was Pete for the horse and Johnny for the hill And young Willie Scott from the old sawmill Little na doo ron-ant-a-nigh Oh little na doo ron-ant-a-nan Next day a policeman to Pete did come Saying Pete my lad Tom's told me what you've done You'll have to come with me to plead your cause For the breaking of the ladder at the Brandon laws Little na doo ron-ant-a-nigh Oh little na doo ron-ant-a-nan For the breaking of the ladder in two you say I've never a doubt until this day And if you think that I'm that man Then you and old Tom are damn far wrong Little na doo ron-ant-a-nigh Oh little na doo ron-ant-a-nan So then the policeman he went on his way 'Cause he couldn't prove anything on that day And these three lads at the inn that night They drank and they sang with such delight Little na doo ron-ant-a-nigh Oh little na doo ron-ant-a-nan Little na doo ron-ant-a-nigh Oh little na doo ron-ant-a-nan
