On the first day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:
A pony in a pear tree

On the second day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:
Two worn out gloves
and a pony in a Pear Tree

On the third day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:
Three pony friends
Two worn out gloves

On the fourth day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:

Four holy jodhpurs,

Three horsey friends

Two worn out gloves

and a pony in a pear tree

my true love sent to me,

Five gold bit rings,

Four holy jodhpurs,

Three horsey friends

Two worn out gloves

and a pony in a pear tree

Six ponies neighing,

Five gold bit rings,

Four holy jodhpurs,

Three horsey friends
