On the twelfth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me…

Twelve lads a hunting

Eleven grannies quilting

Ten mandolins strumming

Nine fiddlers fiddling

Eight rivers running

Seven catfish swimming

Six hound dogs baying

Five black walnut trees

Four hoot owls callin’

Three white tail deer

Two snapping turtles

And

A possum in a persimmon tree
