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
And a partridge in a pear tree!
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 golden rings!
Four calling birds
Three french hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree!
