    It won't treat my boys atall.
    Up with the kettle and down with the pan,
    Give us our answer and let us begone.
    We walked ten miles in frost and snow
    We walked ten miles and more,
    We caught a wren on a Holly-bush
    And brought him to your door.
    The wren, the wern as you may see,
    Is mounted on a Holly tree.
    A bunch of gay ribbons by his side,
    And the North Cork boys to be his guide.
