The message
from PerfectlyFragileWarrior
contains these words:

That made me think of "Green Grow The Garden, O". Is that a line
from a song or am I mangling it?

unmangles, sings

"Green grow the rushes O"

Janet
I remember that one

I will sing you one O
Green grow the rushes O
What is your one O
One is one and all alone
And evermore shall be so

I will sing you two O
Green grow the rushes O
What is your two O
Two, two the lily white boys
Clothed all in green O

I will sing you three O
Green grow the rushes O
What is your three O

Three, three the rivals

Four for the Gospel makers

Five for the symbols at your door

Six for the six proud walkers

Seven for the seven stars in the sky

Eight for the April rainers

Nine for the nine bright shiners

Ten for the Ten Commandments

Eleven for the eleven that went to heaven

Twelve for the twelve apostles

As sung in Girl Scouts

THAT'S IT!! Before everyone went PC, I guess.
