Lyrics:

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
