The first wren song I ever learned was about a rat.

When I was a kid we had a Burl Ives record with this song on it: Billy Barlow. It wasn't until thirty years later that I first heard about wren songs and realized that Billy Barlow was an American version of the Cutty Wren. Except that Billy and his friends Risky Rob, Robin, Bob, Dan'l and Joe are hunting a rat! Apparently it was misheard as it went across the Atlantic.

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.
