Green grow the rushes-o

Thank you for rating this article.

I'll sing you one-o
Green grow the rushes-o
What is your one-o?
One is one and all alone
And ever more shall be so.

I'll sing you two-o
Green grow the rushes-o
What is your two-o?
Two two the lily-white boys
Clothed all in green-o,
One is one and all alone
And ever more shall be so.

I'll sing you three-o
Green grow the rushes-o
What is your three-o?
Three-e-e three-e-e The ri-i-i-ivals,
Two two the lily-white boys
Clothed all in green-o,
One is one and all alone
And ever more shall be so.

I'll sing you four-o ...
