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.
