  2. Song of Wren Boys
    "The wren, the wren,
    That you may see
    All dressed upon
    A holly tree
    A bunch of ribbons
    By her side
    And the mullinhone boys
    To be her guide.
    Up with the kettle
    And down with the pan
    Give us you answer
    And let us be gone."
    Cecilia Greene, Chapel St, Mullinahone.
