“The wren, the wren, ¶ The king of all birds, ¶ On St. Stephen's Day ¶ He was got in the furze”
The wren, the wren,
The king of all birds
On St. Stephen's Day
He was got in a furze
Sticks and stones
They broke his bones
And brought him home
To bury him here
Up with the kettle
And down with the pan
A penny or twopence
To bury the wren- Collector

The wren, the wren the king of all birds
St. Stephen's Day was caught in the furze.
I caught my cubit and broke his knee
And brought him here to visit ye
Up the kettle down with the pan
