The Twelve Days Of Christmas (Remasterisé) Lyrics
Bing Crosby & Andrews Sisters (Feat. The)
Lyrics
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
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the third day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Three French hens
Two turtledoves
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 turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Five gold rings
(Five golden rings)
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Six geese a-laying
Five gold 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
Six geese a-laying
Five gold rings
(Five golden rings)
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtledoves
And a partridge 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 gold rings
(Five golden rings)
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtledoves
And a partridge 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 gold rings
(Five golden rings)
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtledoves
And a partridge 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 gold 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
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five gold rings
(Five golden rings)
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtledoves
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 gold 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
