Asong And A Christmas Tree
My good friends brought to me
A song and a Christmas tree.
My good friends brought to me
Two candy canes
And a song for the Christmas tree.
My good friends brought to me
Three boughs of holly
Two candy canes
And a song for the Christmas tree.
My good friends brought to me
Four colored lights,
Three boughs of holly,
Two candy canes,
And a song for the Christmas tree.
My good friends brought to me
A shining star.
Four colored lights,
Three boughs of holly,
Two candy canes,
And a song for the Christmas tree.
My good friends brought to me
Little silver bells
A shining star
Four colored lights,
Three boughs of holly,
Two candy canes,
And a song for the Christmas tree.
My good friends brought to me
Candles a-glowing,
Little silver bells
A shining star
Four colored lights,
Three boughs of holly,
Two candy canes,
And a song for the Christmas tree.
My good friends brought to me
Gold and silver tinsel,
Candles a-glowing,
Little silver bells
A shining star
Four colored lights,
Three boughs of holly,
Two candy canes,
And a song for the Christmas tree.
My good friends brought to me
A guardian angel,
Gold and silver tinsel,
Candles a-glowing,
Little silver bells
A shining star
Four colored lights,
Three boughs of holly,
Two candy canes,
And a song for the Christmas tree.
My good friends brought to me
Some mistletoe,
A guardian angel,
Gold and silver tinsel,
Candles a-glowing,
Little silver bells
A shining star
Four colored lights,
Three boughs of holly,
Two candy canes,
And a song for the Christmas tree.
My good friends brought to me
Gifts for one and all,
Some mistletoe,
A guardian angel,
Gold and silver tinsel,
Candles a-glowing,
Little silver bells
A shining star
Four colored lights,
Three boughs of holly,
Two candy canes,
And a song for the Christmas tree.
My good friends brought to me,
All their good wishes,
Gifts for one and all,
Some mistletoe,
A guardian angel,
Gold and silver tinsel,
Candles a-glowing,
Little silver bells
A shining star
Four colored lights,
Three boughs of holly,
Two candy canes,
And a song for the Christmas tree.
The lyrics of the “12 Days of Christmas” song tell the story of a person who is receiving gifts from their true love. The gifts are a series of increasingly grand and unique presents, each of which is given on one of the twelve days leading up to Christmas. The gifts include such items as a partridge in a pear tree, two turtle doves, three French hens, and even a total of twelve drummers drumming.
The Partridge in a Pear Tree
The first gift in the “12 Days of Christmas” is a “partridge in a pear tree”. This symbolizes the gift of Jesus Christ, the ultimate gift of love and sacrifice. In the song, the partridge is said to be in the pear tree, representing the love and protection of God for his people.
