Songtexte Twelve Days Of Christmas - Burl Ives

The first day of Christmas
My true love brought to me
A partridge in a pear tree

The second day of Christmas
My true love brought to me
Two turtledoves and a partridge in a pear tree

The third day of Christmas
My true love brought to me
Three French hens, two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree

The fourth day of Christmas
My true love brought to me
Four calling birds, three French hens
Two turtledoves and a partridge in a pear tree

The fifth day of Christmas
My true love brought to me
Five golden rings
Four calling birds, three French hens
Two turtledoves and a partridge in a pear tree

The sixth day of Christmas
My true love brought to me
Six geese a-laying, five golden rings
Four calling birds, three French hens
Two turtledoves and a partridge in a pear tree

The seventh day of Christmas
My true love brought to me
Seven swans a-swimming, six geese a-laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds, three French hens
Two turtledoves and a partridge in a pear tree

The eighth day of Christmas
My true love brought to me
Eight boys a-singing
Seven swans a-swimming, six geese a-laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds, three French hens
Two turtledoves and a partridge in a pear tree

The ninth day of Christmas
My true love brought to me
Nine maids a-milking, eight boys a-singing
Seven swans a-swimming, six geese a-laying

Four calling birds, three French hens
Two turtledoves and a partridge in a pear tree

The tenth day of Christmas
My true love brought to me

Eight boys a-singing, seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying, five golden rings
Four calling birds, three French hens
Two turtledoves and a partridge in a pear tree

The eleventh day of Christmas
My true love brought to me
Eleven lords a-leaping, ten ladies dancing
Nine maids a-milking, eight boys a-singing
Seven swans a-swimming, six geese a-laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds, three French hens
Two turtledoves and a partridge in a pear tree

The twelfth day of Christmas
My true love brought to me
Twelve bulls a-bellowing, eleven lords a-leaping
Ten ladies dancing, nine maids a-milking
Eight boys a-singing, seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying, five golden rings
Four calling birds, three French hens
Two turtledoves and a partridge in a pear tree
