The Wren Song 
The wren, the wren, the king of all birds St. Stephen's Day got caught in the furze Although he was little, his honor was great Jump up, me lads, and give us a treat. 
As I was gone to Killenaule I met a wren upon the wall Up with me wattle and knocked him down And brought him into Carrick town. 
Dreolín, dreolín, where's your nest? 'tis in the bush that I love best In the tree, 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 We followed the wren three miles or more At six o'clock in the morning. 
We have a little box under me arm Under me arm, under me arm We have a little box under me arm A penny or tuppence'll do it no harm. 
Mrs. Clancy's a very good woman A very good woman, a very good woman Mrs. Clancy's a very good woman She gave us a penny to bury the wren.
