Lyrics The Twelve Days of Christmas (Arr. Ian Humphris) - Nigel Short feat. Tenebrae

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 fourth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle-doves
And a Partridge in a pear tree, a Partridge in a pear tree

On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Five golden rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle-doves
And a Partridge in a pear tree, in a pear tree, in a pear tree

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

On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Seven swans a swimming
Six geese a laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle-doves
And a Partridge in a pear tree, in a pear tree, in a pear tree

On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle-doves
And a Partridge in a pear tree, in a pear tree, in a pear tree

On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle-doves
And a Partridge in a pear tree, in a pear tree, in a pear tree

On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Ten lords a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle-doves
And a Partridge in a pear tree, in a pear tree, in a pear tree

On the 11th day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
11 pipers piping
Ten lords a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle-doves
And a Partridge in a pear tree, in a pear tree, in a pear tree

On the 12th day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
12 drummers drumming
11 pipers piping
Ten lords a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle-doves
And a Partridge in a pear tree
And a Partridge in a pear tree, a Partridge in a pear tree
In a pear tree
