Came a big blister as big as a plum.
I have a small box under my arm
And a few pence will do it no harm
If you fill it of the best
I hope, in Heaven your soul may rest
But if you fill it of the small
I won't agree with the "Wran Boys" at all
So up with the "kittle" and down with the pan
Give us your answer and let us be gone
Haray me boys haray.

The "Wran" the "Wran" , the King of all birds
On St Stephens Day she was caught in the firs
So up with the "kittle" and down with the pan
Give us a penny or tuppence to bury the "Wran".
