Lyrics Of 12 Days Of Christmas |

Twelve days of Christmas was written in England to help young Catholics understand the canons of their faith better. They were supposed to learn it by heart, for any written document could cause immense trouble.

On the (first) day of Christmas my true love sent to me
A partridge in a pear tree
Repeat with each of these lines
Two turtle doves
Three french hens
Four colly birds
Five gold rings
Seven swans swimming
Eight maids milking
Nine drummers drumming
Ten pipers piping
Eleven ladies dancing
Twelve lords leaping
ending with
On the (first) day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Twelve lords leaping
Eleven ladies dancing
Ten pipers piping
Nine drummers drumming
Eight maids milking
Seven swans swimming
Six geese laying
Five gold rings
Four colly birds
Three french hens
Two turtle doves and
A partridge in a pear tree
