- (continued from previous page)Although he is little, his familys so great. I pray you good lady give us a treat. My box it would speak if it had but a tongue, And a penny or two would do it no wrong. Sing holly sing ivy, sing ivy sing holly. A drop just to drink would drown melacholy, And if you draw it of the best I hope in heaven soul may rest; But if you draw it of the small, it wont agree with the wren boys at all. But this is the song that the boys without any box sings
The wren the wren the king of all birds, St Stephens day was caught in the furze up with the kettle and down with the pan. Give me a penny to bury the wren if you haven't a penny a halfpenny will do. If you havent a halfpenny God bless you.
