I will sing you a one-0.
What is your one-O?
One is the one left alone,
And evermore shall be so.

Last stanza
I will sing you a twelve-O,
What is your twelve-0?

Twelve is the twelve apostles,

Eleven is the eleven that went to heaven,
Ten is the ten commandments,
Nine of them do shine so bright,
Eight is the Hebrew children,
Seven is the seven stars in the skies,
Six are the Cherubim weavers,
Five are the flimbos under the sun,
Four are the Gospel preachers,
Three of them were typers,
Two of them were lily-white babes,
All robed in green-0,
One is the one left alone,
And evermore shall be so.
This song is from the album "Folk Songs From Newfoundland".
