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 turtledoves

On the third day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Three French hens,

And a partridge in a pear tree.

On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Six geese a-laying,
(Five golden rings.) Five golden rings
(Four calling birds,)
Three French hens,
(Two turtledoves,)
And a partridge in a pear tree.

(On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Seven swans a-swimming,)

And a partridge in a pear tree.

(On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Eight maids a-milking,)

(Five golden rings.) Five golden rings
(Four calling birds,)
Three French hens,
(Two turtledoves)
And a partridge in a pear tree.

On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
(I sent eleven pipers piping,)
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,

Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
(Five golden rings.) Five golden rings
(Four calling birds,)
Three French hens,

And a partridge in a pear tree.

(On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me)
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,)
Nine ladies dancing,
(Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,)
Six geese a-laying,
(Five golden rings.) Five golden rings
(Four calling birds,)
Three French hens,
(Two turtledoves)
And a partridge in a pear tree.
And a partridge in a pear tree.

  5. S.... S....

    My favorite version

  6. K.... B....

    To actually do this would be ridicuously expensive,to say the least.Great song.

    K.... B....

    Thank you!!!

  7. T.... ....

    Who here watched that cartoon in the late 90s, early 2000s, about a boy being tasked by the father of the girl he falls in love with to give her every item of the song? (I guess it's supposed to be a story about the origin of the song.) This very same version of the song plays thoughtout the cartoon. So, that cartoon is what this version makes me think of. <3

    T.... ....

    You are right. And it's the best version 🔥🔥
