Come and I will sing you
What will you sing me
I will sing you one-o
What will the one be
One the one that's all alone
And ever more shall be so

Come and I will sing you
What will you sing me
I will sing you two-o
What will the two be
Two of them were lily white babes
Clothed all in green-o
One the one that's all alone
And ever more shall be so

Come and I will sing you 
What will you sing me
I will sing you three-o
What will the three be
Three of them were drivers
Two of them were lily white babes
Clothed all in green-o
One the one that's all alone
And ever more shall be so

Come and I will sing you
What will you sing me
I will sing you four-o
What will the four be
Four gospel preachers
Three of them were drivers
Two of them were lily white babes
Clothed all in green-o
One the one that's all alone
And ever more shall be so

Come and I will sing you
What will you sing me
I will sing you five-o
What will the five be
Five ferrymen under the bush
Four gospel preachers
Three of them were drivers
Two of them were lily white babes
Clothed all in green-o
One the one that's all alone
And ever more shall be so

Come and I will sing you
What will you sing me
I will sing you six-o
What will the six be
Six, the six pallbearers
Five ferrymen under the bush
Four gospel preachers
Three of them were drivers
Two of them were lily white babes
Clothed all in green-o
One the one that's all alone
And ever more shall be so

And come and I will sing you
What will you sing me
I will sing you seven-o
What will the seven be
Seven, seven stars under the sky
Six, the six pallbearers
Five ferrymen under the bush
Four gospel preachers
Three of them were drivers
Two of them were lily white babes
Clothed all in green-o
One the one that's all alone
And ever more shall be so

And come and I will sing you
What will you sing me
I will sing you eight-o
What will the eight be
Eight Gabriel angels
Seven, seven stars under the sky
Six, the six pallbearers
Five ferrymen under the bush
Four gospel preachers
Three of them were drivers
Two of them were lily white babes
Clothed all in green-o
One the one that's all alone
And ever more shall be so

And come and I will sing you
What will you sing me
I will sing you nine-o
What will the nine be
Nine the bright-eyed sinners
Eight Gabriel singers
Seven, seven stars under the sky
Six, the six pallbearers
Five ferrymen under the bush
Four gospel preachers
Three of them were drivers
Two of them were lily white babes
Clothed all in green-o
One the one that's all alone
And ever more shall be so

And come and I will sing you
What will you sing me
I will sing you ten-o
What will the ten be
Ten, the ten commandments
Nine the bright-eyed sinners
Eight Gabriel angels
Seven, seven stars under the sky
Six, the six pallbearers
Five ferrymen under the bush
Four gospel preachers
Three of them were drivers
Two of them were lily white babes
Clothed all in green-o
One the one that's all alone
And ever more shall be so

And come and I will sing you
What will you sing me
I will sing you eleven-o
What will the eleven be
Eleven is the eleven 
That went straight to heaven
Ten, the ten commandments
Nine the bright-eyed sinners
Eight Gabriel angels
Seven, seven stars under the sky
Six, the six pallbearers
Five ferrymen under the bush
Four gospel preachers
Three of them were drivers
Two of them were lily white babes
Clothed all in green-o
One the one that's all alone
And ever more shall be so

And come and I will sing you
What will you sing me
I will sing you twelve-o
What will the twelve be
Twelve, twelve apostles
Eleven is the eleven
That went straight to heaven
Ten, the ten commandments
Nine the bright-eyed sinners
Eight Gabriel angels
Seven, seven stars under the sky
Six, the six pallbearers
Five ferrymen under the bush
Four gospel preachers
Three of them were drivers
Two of them were lily white babes
Clothed all in green-o
One the one that's all alone
And ever more shall be so
