Final Verse
- On the twelfth day of Christmas,
- my true love sent to me
- Twelve drummers drumming,
- 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.
