@HUSKEYPUPPY I didn't count them at all, actually. The pattern's not all that complicated. 12 * 1 (partridges + pear trees) + 11 * 2 turtle doves + 10 * 3 french hens + etc. etc. And it's also symmetrical after 6 * 7.
Yes 1 True Love refers to God 2 Turtle Doves refers to the Old and New Testaments 3 French Hens refers to Faith, Hope and Charity, the Theological Virtues 4 Calling Birds refers to the Four Gospels and/or the Four Evangelists 5 Golden Rings refers to the first Five Books of the Old Testament, the "Pentateuch", which gives the history of man's fall from grace.

From Wikipedia: "In fact, variations in lyrics provide evidence against the "catechism song" origin. For example, the four Gospels often are described as the "four calling birds," when in fact the phrase "calling birds" is a modern (probably 20th century) phonetic misunderstanding of "colly birds" (blackbirds)."
I am not a christian, and i dont buy gifts BUT I LOVE CHRISTMAS and songs like this are the reason.
It took me 10 years to find this!!!..thanks!
Thanks a lot for sharing. I love this song. Unvaluable.
Hi are you alive
the best video with this song I found here
This is my favorite Christmas song
@aforencich Simple. A nice large freezer for the animals, "Cash for Gold" for the rings and put the others to work for you. :-)
Glad that the real version of my favorite christmas song is still out there....Merry Christmas from Connecticut!
''...And a partridge in a pear.........TREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'' I LOVE THIS PART, LOL
Straight no chaser is the one who sings the version with todos africa
Raspberry jam 💞💞💞💞☺️💞☺️☺️☺️💞☺️💞☺️💞☺️
Give them to someone else, of course!;)
They represent things, like the 2 doves represent the new and the old testaments of the bible
All are either people or a bird except for rings...
My favourite Christmas carol! :) Merry Christmas!
@aforencich Start a Revolution Sir....Start a Revolution!
I like the way the song stops on the fifth day of Christmas , its so peaceful. Im sure even A Jew Would have to appreaciate this Classic.
oh yes i remeber hearing that some where thanks for reminding me :)
@aforencich I see, but I still agree.
What a big key change. At the fifth day, it’s three tones higher, in B flat major now. Starts in G major.
@aforencich: You would calculate that.
@ReflectingLink: What kind of gold?
one hell of a christmas party

Merry Christmas all my friends
And a happy new year
Thanks for the video. Its the original.

@himaru75 However, if one is to trust wikipedia (and that can of course be argued against) this interpretation is of more recent times.
