(9) On St Stephen's Days boys go about with the wren. No wren is carried neither is the wren hunted.(I)
The Wren, The Wren the King of all Birds
On St Stephen's day he is caught in the furze
A bunch of Ribbons by his side
And the Cloyne Boys to be his guide.ChorusKnock at the knocker
Ring the bell
Give us some coppers
For singing so well(II)We followed the wren through frost and snow
We followed the wren three miles or more
We followed the wren to Carrig-a-Crump
And brought him home on a Holly-stump
