	*Twelve Apostles*

	5. Six are the abler's angles; Five the bambrew makers; Four are the bambrews o'er the bow; Three of them were strivers; Two of them were lily white babes; Oh, to my one — to my wandering All alone — Never more shall be so. 6. Seven are the seven stars fixed in the sky; Six are the abler's angle^s; Five are the bambrew makers; Four are the bambrews o'er the bow; Three of them were strivers; Two of them were lily white babes; Oh, to my OLie — to my wandering All alone — Never more shall be so. 7. (Does not remember.) 8. Nine both bright and shiny; Seven are the seven stars fixed in the sky; Six are the abler's angles; Five the bambrew makers; Four are the bambrews o'er the bow; Three of them were strivers; Two of them were lily white babes; Oh, to my one — to my wandering All alone — Never more shall be so. 9. Ten are the Ten Commandments; Nine both bright and shiny; Seven are the seven stars fixed in the sky Six are the abler's angles; Five the bambrew makers; Four are the bambrews o'er the bow; Three of them were strivers; Two of them were lily white babes; Oh, to my one — to my wandering All alone — Never more shall be so.
