Traditional British
I'll sing you twelve, oh
Green grow the rushes, oh
What is your twelve, oh?
Twelve for the twelve apostles
Eleven for the eleven went up to heaven
Ten the ten commandments
Nine the nine bright shiners
Eight the April rainers
Seven the seven stars in the sky
Six the six proud walkers
Five for the symbol at your door
Four for the Gospel makers
Three, three, the rivals
Two, two, the lily white boys
Clothed all in green, oh
One is one and all alone
And ever more shall be so
Note:
The music is exactly like the fifth verse for the rest of the verses, adding one to each verse (like Twelve days of Christmas)
