On the fourth day of Christmas my
true love gave to me, four calling birds.
There are different versions to the song at this point. Some mention calling birds while other true loves gave colly or collie birds. It’s all a case of broken telephone and even
left some unfortunate true loves with four, or rather 36 macabre coiled birds.
