Harry Belafonte Twelve Days of Christmas song lyrics

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me

A partridge in a pear tree

On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me

Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree

On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me three French hens

Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree

On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me

Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves

And a partridge in a pear tree

On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me

Five golden rings, four calling birds, three French hens

Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree

On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me

Six geese a layin', five golden rings, four calling birds

Three French hens two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree

On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me

Seven swans a swimmin', six geese a layin', five golden rings

Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves

And a partridge in a pear tree

On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me

Eight maids a milkin', seven swans a swimmin'

Six geese a layin', five golden rings,

four calling birds, three French hens

Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree

On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me

Nine , eight maids a milkin', seven swans a swimmin'

Six geese a layin', five golden rings,

four calling birds, three French hens

Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree

On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me

Ten ladies dancin', nine , eight maids a milkin'

Seven swans a swimmin', six geese a layin', five golden rings

Four calling birds, three French hens

Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree

On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me

Eleven pipers pipin', ten ladies dancin', nine Eight maids a milkin', seven swans a swimmin'

Six geese a layin', five golden rings,

four calling birds, three French hens

Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me

Twelve drummers drummin', eleven pipers pipin', ten ladies dancin'

Nine , eight maids milkin', seven swans a swimmin'

Six geese a layin' five golden rings, four calling birds, three French hens

Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
