- (continued from previous page)got dead on the banks of the river next morning.The boys of the district go out as mummers or wren boys. They dress like this. They turn an over coat inside out and go about from house to house singing this rhyme.
"honey we want and money we crave if you dont let us in we will wish you to the grave". When they come into the house one of them sit down and play on a fiddle the rest dances through the house when they get money they leave.By
