The Wren Song
“The wren the wren the king of all birds”
The Wren Song
The wren the wren the king of all birds
St Stephen's Day was caught in the furze
Her clothes were all torn- her shoes were all worn
Up with the kettle and down with the pan
Give us a penny to bury the "wran"
If you haven't a penny a halfpenny will do,
If you havn't a halfpenny
God bless you!- Collector
