    Rise up, Lan Laddie, and give us a treat,
    "Dreoilín, Dreóilín, where's your nest?
    "Tis in the bush that I love best,
    Between the Holly and Ivy tree,
    Where all the birds do follow me.
    I followed the wren three miles and more
    Three miles and more, three miles and more.
    I followed the wren, three miles and more,
    On a cold and frosty morning.
    Mr - - - - the gentleman, the gentleman
    Tis to his honour we brought the Wren (Wran)
    Open your purse and put down your hand
    And give us a penny to bury the Wren.
