Chumbawamba - The Cutty Wren Lyrics






Oh where are you going? said Milder to Moulder
Oh we may not tell you! said Festel to Fose
We're off to the wood! said John the Red Nose
We're off to the wood! said John the Red Nose
And what will you do there? said Milder to Moulder
Oh we may not tell you! said Festel to Fose
We'll shoot the cutty wren! said John the Red Nose
We'll shoot the cutty wren! said John the Red Nose
Oh how will you cut him up? said Milder to Moulder
Oh we may not tell you! said Festel to Fose
With knives and with forks! said John the Red Nose
With knives and with forks! said John the Red Nose
And who´ll get the spare ribs? said Milder to Moulder
Oh we may not tell you! said Festel to Fose
We'll give them all to the poor! said John the Red Nose
We'll give them all to the poor! said John the Red Nose

Chumbawamba The Cutty Wren Comments
  1. 1.... ....

    Great album. Bought it when it came out . Still play it to this day.

  2. N.... ....

    This mightn't be in reference to rebellion or protest, but the holiday tradition of hunting wrens.

    It takes place on the 26th of December, and may date as far back as 2,000 years, it may have been inspired by the tale of Gwydion, who proved himself by shooting one of these birds between the tendons in one of it's legs.

    Just thought I'd offer an alternative theory, good song either way though.

    N.... ....

    It is still traditional in Ireland on St. Stephen's Day except, fortunately, the wren is no longer killed.
