The Twelve Days of Christmas


Melody -


On the first day of Christmas
My true love sent to me:
A partridge in a pear tree

On the second day of Christmas
My true love sent to me:
Two turtle doves and
A partridge in a pear tree

On the third day of Christmas
My true love sent to me:
Three french hens
Two turtle doves and
A partridge in a pear tree

. . . . . . .

On the twelfth day of Christmas
My true love sent to me:
Twelve lords a-leaping
Eleven ladies dancing
Ten pipers piping
Nine drummers drumming
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five golden rings
Four colly*) birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves and
A partridge in a pear tree
*)colly=like coal
