The wren, the wren, the king of all birds

on St. Stephen's Day got caught in the furze

So it's up with the kettle and down with the pan give us a penny to burry the wren

As I was gone to Killenaule I met the wren upon the wall

I upped with me wattle and knocked him down and brought him into Carrick town

Little bird, little bird, where is your nest?

'Tis in the bush that I love best

It's in the tree, the holly tree

where all the boys do follow me

We followed the wren three miles or more

three miles or more, three miles or more

We 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 tuppence'll do it no harm

Mrs. O'Gill is a very good woman

a very good woman, a very good woman

Mrs. O'Gill is a very good woman

she gave us a penny to bury the wrenching
