    down with the pan,
    And give us some money
    to bury the wran.
    If you hav'nt it in your
    pocket,
    You have it in your purse,
    And if you don't give us
    something -
    You'll have the wran's curse
    Our boots were wore, our
    clothes were tore
    Follyin' the wran three

    a barrel of beer
    And we wish you all a
    happy New Year"
