Harry Belafonte - The Twelve Days Of Christmas 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 [Incomprehensible], 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 [Incomprehensible], 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 [Incomprehensible]
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 [Incomprehensible], 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
