Green Grow the Rushes-O
Author Unknown
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 your two-o?
Two, two, the lilly white boys, clothed all in green-o,
One is one and all alone and ever more shall be so!
etc...
Twelve for the twelve Apostles
Eleven for the eleven who went to heaven
Ten for the Ten Commandments
Nine for the nine bright shiners
Eight for the April rainers
Seven for the seven stars in the sky
Six for the six proud walkers
Five for the symbols at you door
Four for the Gospel makers
Three, three, the rivals
Two, two, the lilly white boys, clothed all in green-o
One is one and all alone and ever more shall be so!
