    in the furze,
    Although he was little his honour was great,
    Get up me laddies and give us a treat.
    This is the wren that you may see,
    Hanging from a holly tree,
    A bunch of ribbons by his side,
    And we're the boys to be his guide,
    Up with the kettle and down with the pan,
    A shilling or two to bury the wren.
