	The linked lyrics are one variation, but not the traditional version, which has "My true love sent to me" rather than "gave", and "gold rings" rather than "golden".

(Admittedly, "golden" scans better, but it's pretty much purely an American innovation; see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Twelve_Days_of_Christmas_(song)#Variations_of_the_lyrics Wikipedia]. My submissions all have "gold rings", although I was inconsistent with regard to 'gave" vs "sent"; going back to correct that now. Anyway, I suggest the task description be modified to allow the traditional lyrics instead of requiring exactly the linked ones. --[[User:Markjreed\|Markjreed]] ([[User talk:Markjreed\|talk]]) 15:12, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
