One of them is all alone   And evermore shall be so   Two of them are lily-white   Boys all clothed in green-oh   Three of them are strangers   O'er the wide world they are rangers   Four it is the dilly hour   When blooms the gilly flower   Five it is the dilly bird   That's seldom seen but heard   Six it is the ferryman   The boat o'er the river floats oh   Seven are the seven stars in the sky   The shining stars be seven-oh   Eight it is the morning break   Then all the world's awake-oh   Nine it is the pale moonshine   The shining moon is nine-oh   Ten forgives all kinds of sin   From ten begin again-oh
