There is a Manx legend that during the Irish rebellion, when
English
soldiers and Manx Fencibles were in Ireland, the noise made by the wren on
the end
of a drum woke a sleeping sentry and thus saved them from being
taken unawares; this was the
reason for hunting the wren on St. Stephen's
Day.
Oh where are you going said Milder
to Moulder
Oh we may not tell you said Festel to Fose
We're off to the woods said John the
Red Nose
We're off to the woods said John the Red Nose
And what will you do there
said Milder to Moulder
We'll shoot the Cutty wren said John the Red Nose
And how
will you shoot us said Milder to Moulder
With bows and with arrows said John the Red
Nose
Oh that will not do said Milder to Moulder
Oh what will you do then said Festel
to Fose
Great guns and great cannon said John the Red Nose
And how will you fetch
her said Milder to Moulder
Oh we may not tell you said Festel to Fose
On four strong men's
shoulders said John the Red Nose
Ah that will not do said Milder to Moulder
Oh what
will do then said Festel to Fose
Great carts and great wagons said John the Red
Nose
Oh how will you cut her up said Milder to Moulder
With knives and with forks
said John the Red Nose
Oh that will not do said Milder to Moulder
Great hatchets and
cleavers said John the Red Nose
Oh how will you boil her said Milder to Moulder
In
pots and in kettles said John the Red Nose
O that will not do said Milder to Moulder
Great
pans and large cauldrons said John the Red Nose
Oh who'll get the spare ribs said Milder
to Moulder
We'll give 'em all to the poor said John the Red Nose
