Drummers Drumming

Fortsetzung

12.

On the twelfth day of Christmas,

My true love sent to me

Twelve drummers drummings,

Eleven pipers piping,

Ten lords a-leaping,

Nine ladies dancing,

Eight maids a-milking,

Seven swans a-swimming,

Six geese a-laying,

Five golden rings.

Four calling birds,

Three French hens,

Two turtle-doves and

A partridge in a pear tree.
