1 green shamrock,
In the morning dew,
Another one sprouted,
And then there were two.
2 green shamrocks,
Growing beneath a tree,
Another one sprouted,
And then there were three.
3 green shamrocks,
By the cottage door,
Another one sprouted,
And then there were four.
4 green shamrocks,
Near a beehive
Another one sprouted,
And then there were five.
5 little shamrocks,
Bright and emerald green,
Think of all the luck
These shamrocks will bring.
