- On St Stephen's day all the boys of a townland gather together and go all round the parish singing songs and they get money in every house This is the song they sing
The wren the wren the king of all birds
On St Stephen's day he was caught in the furze
From bush to bush
From tree to tree
At Toureen Bridge he broke his knee
Up with the kettle and down with the pot
Give us a penny to bury the wren
They divide all the money and if there is a penny left they buy sweets and divide them.- Collector
