The Wren, The Wren
The wren the wren the king of all birds
St. Stephens day was caught in the furze
although he was little his honor was great
jump up me lads and give us a treat
As I was going to Kilinaule
I met a wren upon a wall
up with me wattle and knocked him down
and brought him into Carrick town
Dreoilín Dreoilín where's your nest
tis in the bush that I love best
In the bush the holly tree
where all the boys do follow me.
Up with the kettle and down with the pan
and give us a penny to bury the wren.
We followed the wren three miles or more
Three miles or more, three miles or more
followed the wren three miles or more
at six o'clock in the morning
I have a little box under me arm
under me arm, under me arm
I have a little box under me arm
a penny or tupence il do it not harm
Oh misses Kelly's a very good woman
a very good woman, a very good woman
Misses Kelly's a very good woman
she give us a penny to bury the wren
