I’ll sing you one o
Green grow the rushes o
What is your one o
One is one and all alone
And ever more shall be so
I’ll sing you two o
Green grow the rushes o
What is two o
Two, two the lily white boys
Clothed in green o o
One is one and all alone
And ever more shall be so
I’ll sing you three o
Green grow the rushes o
What is your three o
Three, three the rivals. . .
Four for the Gospel makers
Five for the symbols at your door
Six for the six brown walkers
Seven for the seven stars in the sky
Eight for the April rainers
Nine for the nine bright shiners
Ten for the Ten Commandments
Eleven for the eleven that went to heaven
Twelve for the twelve apostles
