One the one that's all alone and ever more shall be so.
Come and I will sing you,
What will you sing me?
I will sing you two-o.
What will the two be?

One the one that's all alone and ever more shall be so.
Come and I will sing you,
What will you sing me?
I will sing you three-o.
What will the three be?
Three of them were drivers,
Two of them were lily white babes, clothed all in green-o,
One the one that's all alone and ever more shall be so.

What will you sing me?
I will sing you four-o.

One the one that's all alone and ever more shall be so.
And come and I will sing you,
What will you sing me?
I will sing you eight-o.

Eight Gabriel angels,
Seven, seven stars under the sky,
Six, the six pallbearers
Five ferrymen under the bush,
Four Gospel preachers,
Three of them were drivers,
Two of them were lily white babes, clothed all in green-o,
One the one that's all alone and ever more shall be so.
And come and I will sing you,

Nine the bright eyed shiners,
Eight Gabriel angels,
Seven, seven stars under the sky,
Six, the six pallbearers
