  1. St. Stephen's Day
    The wren, the wren, the King of all *
    St. Stephen's Day she was caught in the furze.
    Although she was little our humour was great.
    Stand up Bonnies Laddie and give us a *.
    We chased it up we her down. We ran her into Coolrain town. We dipped her head in a barrel of beer.
    And I wish ye all a happy new year.
    On with the kettle down with the pan
    Give us a penny to bury the wren
