Wren songs
"The wren the wren the King of all birds,
St Stephens Day he was caught in the firs.
Although he was little his family was great
Up with the landlady and give us a treat
If you fill it with the small, it wont agree with our boys atall
But if you fill it with the best, I hope in Heaven your soul will rest."
"This little wren was so knough and cunning
He stuck in the bushes and we stopped running
We ran three miles and more
Our shoes and stockings were torn
So up with the kettle and down with the pan
And give us our answer and let us be gone."Frank Bouchier-Hayes
