    And you Mr. O. being a worthy man,.
    'Tis to your house we brought our "wran";
    We brought our "wran" for to visit you here.
    Not for a taste of your liqour or a drink of your beer,
    But to wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
    With your pockets full of money and your cellars full of beer.

    Here is our "wran" you may plainly see,
    He is mounted high on a holly tree,
    With a bunch of ribbons by his side;
    And the Glaun boys to be his guide,
    So up with the kettle and down with the pan,
    Give us our answer and let us be gone.
