The Twelve Days of Christmas : Free Printable Christmas Carol Lyrics Sheets
The tradition of Christmas carols dates back as far as the thirteenth century, although carols were originally communal songs sung during
celebrations like harvest tide as well as Christmas. It was only later that carols began to be sung in church, and to be specifically
associated with Christmas.
Traditionally, carols have often been based on medieval chord patterns, and it is this that gives them their uniquely characteristic musical sound.
Some carols can be traced directly back to the Middle Ages, and are among the oldest musical compositions still regularly sung.

The Twelve Days of Christmas
On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
A partridge in a pear tree.
On the second day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.
On the third day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Three French Hens, two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love sent 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 sent 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 sent to me
Six geese a-laying,
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 sent to me
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.
On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
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.
On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
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.
On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
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.
On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
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.
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.
