    day a fast day to keep us from the sickness of the year.
    The wren the wren the king of all birds
    St Stephen's day she was caught in the furze
    Although she was little her family was great
    Rise up land lady and give us a treat
    We hushed her up and we hushed her down
    We hushed her into Carlow town
    We dipped her head in a barrel of beer
    We wish you all a happy New Year.
