- (continued from previous page)The ivy bush and the holly tree
Where all the birds do follow me
Up with the kettle and down with the pot
Give us an answer and let us be goneII
As I was going up Jack ________'s wall
I met the wren upon the wall
I up with my stick and I gave him a fall
And I brought him here to visit you all
ChorusIII
I have a little box under my arm
Twopence or threepence will do it no harm
If you fill it up the best
I hope in Heaven your soul will rest
If you fill it up the small
It won't agree with the wren boys at all
