One, two, three, O'Leary
Four, five, six, O'Leary...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.149.193.10 (talk) 19:43, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

message: From Shakespeare's Mother Goose for Julius Caesar:''
:X Roman soldiers in a battle line
:One tripped on his spear, and then there were nine.
:IX Roman soldiers staying up late
:One drifted off to sleep, and then there were eight.
:VIII Roman soldiers wished they were in heaven;
:The augurs damned one, then there were seven.
:VII Roman soldiers playing strategic tricks;
:A catapult shot one, and then there were six.
:VI Roman soldiers, well fed and alive
:Till one ate poisoned food, and then there were five.
:V Roman soldiers battering on a door;
:One was crushed beneath the ram, and then there were four.
:IV Roman soldiers stepping out so free,
:One was slung up in a net, and then there were three.
:III Roman soldiers to their Legion true,
:One absconded with the Flag, and then there were two.
:II Roman soldiers crossed the Rubicon,
:One drowned in the stream, and then there was one.
:I Roman soldier living all alone:
:He broke his heart when Caesar died, and then there were none.

message: In the article about Septimus Winner it is said that the original song was called Ten Little Niggers.  Should we not use the original text and name?  --85.220.35.60 17:45, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

* The Beach Boys: Ten Little Indians, 1962
* MTS: 10 böse Autofahrer, 1974
* Leila Negra: Zwölf kleine Negerlein
* Time To Time: Zehn kleine Negerlein (1991)
* Die Toten Hosen: Zehn kleine Jägermeister (Ten little master hunters), from the album Opium fürs Volk (Opium for the people), 1996
:: "Jägermeister" is a German drink for after dinner for men (similar to "After Eight" for the ladies), therefore the translation to "master hunter" may-be corrct but not appropriate! 80.151.9.187 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 11:27, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Notable modern songs, inspired by this song

message: I have a reproduction of a children's board book published by McLoughlin Bros., copyright 1897, called The Ten Little Niggers, which follows Green's "Ten Little Niggers" lyrics, except that in place of "chancery" in the sixth stanza, it reads "prison". The illustrations are of the stereotypical large-lipped blackface variety that would be patently offensive today.

message: It should be added that Bill Haley and his Comets made a rock and roll from the song in 1954 (Essex 340).  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Haley_%26_His_Comets_discography   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.100.170.6 (talk) 13:25, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

message: I cannot see any point in reproducing the whole text of the version from Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson without any commentary - (and that may well be copyvio anyway) - I will remove. -- Beardo (talk) 21:50, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

message: * Around 1960 I worked in a big engineering factory that had industrial apprentices. The firm published internally a version of this poem, about 10 apprentices, who died or were injured one at a time from industrial accidents. It was to warn its readers about industrial safety hazards. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:58, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

message: Are there more details about how the lyrics became so much less complex?  It's not even the same song.  -KaJunl (talk) 22:01, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

message: Doesn't it seem likely that the children's counting game "Ten Green Bottles" is linked somehow to these lyrics? Rwood128 (talk) 17:45, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
