- I'll sing you twelve, Ho
- Green grow the rushes, Ho
- What are your twelve, Ho?
- 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 your door,
- Four for the Gospel makers,
- Three, three, the rivals,
- Two, two, the lily-white boys,
- Clothèd all in green, Ho Ho
- One is one and all alone
- And evermore shall be (it)(or "as") so.
- Hmm, wait a minute. These rushes aren't green so the song doesn't work at all. Brown grow the rushes, Ho, doesn't quite work.
