Sorry pressed the wrong button...
Come and I will Sing you,
What will you sing me?
I will sing you one [2,3,4,etc]O
What is your one O?
One of them is all alone and ever more shall be so
Two of them are liliywhite babes and dress-ed all in green o
Three of them are strangers o'er the wide world they are rangers o
Four it is the dilly hour when blooms the gilly flower o
Five it is the dilly bird that's never seen or heard o
Six the feryman in the boat that doth on the river float o
seven it is the crown if heaven the shining stars are seven o
eight it is the morning break whan all the world'ds awake o
nine it is the pale moonshine the pale moonlight is nine o
Ten forbids all kind of sin and ten begins again o
