    of all birds,
    On St Stephen's day he was caught in the furze,
    Although he is little his family is great,
    So get up young lady and give us a treat,
    I followed my wren through frost and snow,
    I followed my wren two miles and more,
    I followed my wren through holly and lish,
    And I brought it home on a holly bush,
    So up with the kettle and down with the pan,
    And give is a crown to bury the wren.
