Lyrics
On the first day of Christ mas, my true love sent to me a par tridge in a pear tree.
On the sec’nd day of Christ mas, my true love sent to me:
Two tur tle doves, Three French ing hens, and a par tridge in a pear tree.
On the fifth day of Christ mas, my true love sent to me:
Five

Four call ing birds, three French hens, two tur tle doves, and a par tridge in a pear tree.
On the sixth day of Christ mas, my true love sent to me:
Twelve geese a lay ing, Five
gold

Four call ing birds, three French hens, two tur tle doves, and a par tridge in a pear tree.
On the seventh day of Christ mas, my true love sent to me:
Seven swans a swim ming, Five
gold
rings!
Four call ing birds, three French hens, two tur tle doves, and a par tridge in a pear tree.
On the tree.
On the tree.
