I'll sing you one, oh!
Green grow the rushes, oh!
What is you one, oh?

One is one and all alone and ever more shall be so.

Two, two the lilly white boys covered all in green oh, ho.

Three, three, the rivals,

Four for the gospel makers,

Five for the symbol at you door,

Six for the six proud walkers,

Seven for the seven stars in the sky,

Eight for the hosts of heaven,

Nine for the nine bright shinners,

Ten for the ten commandments,

Eleven for the eleven who went to heaven,

Twelve for the twelve apostles.


Green grow the rushes oh
