    caught in the floods
    Then up with the kettle and down with the pan
    And give us some money to bury the wren.
    When the boys would say this they would begin singing and and dancing and playing a mouthorgan.
    Then the people would give them a penny and if they would not get it they would ask some eggs. When they had all the money collected they would buy sweets and cigarettes and when they had them eaten and smoked they would return home.
