The Twelve Days of Christmas
On the twelfth day of Christmas
My true Love sent to me
Twelve lords a-leaping
Eleven ladies dancing
Ten pipers piping
Nine drummers drumming
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six gees a-laying
Five gold rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
This Alfred Dunhill pipe is from a Limited Edition of 500 which celebrates Christmas 2000.

Eight Maids a-milking
This is the eight of twelve verses taken from a traditional sixteenth century English Christmas Carol.
