    And give us a treat
    As I was going to Leaca Bhuidhe
    I met my wren in a holly tree
    Then up with my Cupid
    And broke his knee
    And I brought him here to visit ye.
    And if you fills it of the best
    I hop in Heaven your soul will rest.
    But if you fills it of the small
    it wont agree with our boys atall
    And now you being a wealthy man
    Into your house I brought the wren.
    I brought the wren to visit you here.
    And I wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year
    My wren is well dressed
    And plain to be seen
