Green Grow the Rushes

Lyrics

(English folk song)

1. I’ll sing you one, oh,
Green grow the rushes, oh.
What is your one, oh,
One and one is all alone and evermore shall be so!

2. I sing you two, oh,
Green grow the rushes, oh.
What is your two, oh,
Two for the lilywhite boys clothed all in green, oh,
One and one is all alone and evermore shall be so!

3. …Three, three the rivals…

4. …Four for the gospel makers…

5. …Five for the symbols at your door…

6. …Six for the six pound walkers…

7. …Seven for the seven stars in the sky…

8. …Eight for the eight bold rainers…

9. …Nine for the nine bright shiners…

10. …Ten for the ten commandments…

11. …Eleven for the eleven who went to heaven…

12. …Twelve for the twelve apostles…
