Now we know that the tradition of Hunt the Wren is fairly widespread across the British and Irish Isles, but how about this:
Bill Galbraith came across this version of Hunting The Wren in "Texas Folk Songs" by William A. Owens.

The author classifies it under "Songs And Games For Children”, and says that it was the first song he ever knew, learned from his mother as a nursery song and from his brothers as a game.
