“On Saint Stephen's Day the boys go round from house to house...”
On Saint Stephens's day, the boys go round from house, to house with a wren. They are called the wren boys. They have an old rhyme about the wren. The wren, the wren, the king of all birds, Saint Stephens's day, she was caught in a furze, up with the kettle, and down with the pan, give me some money to bury the wren. The people give the boys, a penny or twopence to bury him.- Collector
