Lyrics Judy Collins – The Twelve Days Of Christmas
Text:
On the first day of Christmas
My true love gave to me a partridge in a pear tree
On the second day of Christmas
My true love gave to me two turtle doves
On the third day of Christmas
My true love gave to me three French hens
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the fourth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me four calling birds, three French hens
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the fifth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me five gold rings, four calling birds
Three French hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the sixth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me six geese a layin’, five gold rings
Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the seventh day of Christmas
My true love gave to me seven swans a swimmin’, six geese a layin’
Five gold rings, four calling birds, three French hens
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the eighth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me eight maids a milkin’
Seven swans a swimmin’, six geese a layin’, five gold rings
Four calling birds, three French hens
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the ninth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me nine ladies dancin’, eight maids a milkin’
Seven swans a swimmin’, six geese a layin’, five gold rings
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the tenth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me ten lords a leapin’, nine ladies dancin’
Eight maids a milkin’, seven swans a swimmin’, six geese a layin’
Five gold rings, four calling birds, three French hens
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the eleventh day of Christmas
My true love gave to me eleven pipers pipin’
Ten lords a leapin’, nine ladies dancin’
Eight maids a milkin’, seven swans a swimmin’, six geese a layin’
Five gold rings, four calling birds, three French hens
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the twelfth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me twelve drummers drummin’
Eleven pipers pipin’, ten lords a leapin’, nine ladies dancin’
Eight maids a milkin’, seven swans a swimmin’, six geese a layin’
Five gold rings, four calling birds, three French hens
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
On the twelfth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me twelve drummers drummin’
Eleven pipers pipin’, ten lords a leapin’, nine ladies dancin’
Eight maids a milkin’, seven swans a swimmin’, six geese a layin’
Five gold rings, four calling birds, three French hens
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
And a partridge in a pear tree
