    Mr --- is a worthy man
    And to his house I brought "me wran"
    I hunted me wran three miles and more
    At last I caught him by the stable door
    And here he is as you may see,
    Up on the top of my holly tree,
    With a bunch of ribbons by his side,
    And the --- boys to be his guide.
    Shake, shake, shake, of the box, all silver and no brass.
    If you fill it of the best, I hope in heaven your soul will rest.
    But if you fill it of the small, it won't agree with the wran boys at all
    Mr --- Shake up your feathers,
    And don't you think that we are beggars
    We are boys came here to-day
    Give us our answer and let us go away.
