    "Rhymes for the Wren."
    The wren the wren the King of all birds.
    St. Stephen's day he was caught in the furze.
    Up with the kettle, and down with the pan.
    A penny or two to bury the wren.
    The wren the wren, he is the King.
    The eagle says he is no such thing.
    A bunch of holly by his side.
    And the Gullane boys to be his guide
    Up with the kettle, and down with the pan.
    A penny or two to bury the wren.
    Jerr Gleeson. Tooreennamult, Gneevgullia Co. Kerry
