Thank you, Magpie! The holiday season is ended - although it always makes me a bit sad, to put the lights and decorations away, still now it's evident that the New Year is well underway, with the sun rising earlier and setting later. And the Wren song has brought Loreena McKennitt's Mummer's Dance to mind - but that's getting a bit too advanced in the year!

I don't think it's really a different tune than the Steeley Span version.

I, of course, am most familiar with the Roberts and Barrand version of this.

Apparently it's traditional to bang staves on the ground while singing it.
