I love this, but I also love the version of this done by Figgy Duff. it is said that this song was the inspiration for the song "The 12 Days of Christmas"
Love this pure music, sung from the heart. I have followed GBS from the first time I saw those very young men singing at a small Cultures Canada performance outside the National Gallery in Ottawa. How far they have come! Bravo to making your music career in Canada and keeping to your roots.
Miss you ever so, laddies. My sons and I still have most of your CD`s et. al. Do pray for your good health and do hope to meet up with you again. Love the Mum from Prince George, and lots of hugs from Mike and Liam By the by, `tis a grrrrrrrrand song xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
They were featured on a CBC broadcast tonight, the entire hour.. I had never heard them before. I even thought The Great Big C not Sea.. Now I know! Fantastic show! Love their music! 🎶
Genevieve Lehr noted that "this cumulative song, known also as the Ten Commandments And The Twelve Apostles, has enjoyed much popularity among folksingers in the southwest of England and throughout North America. Though it has been extensively collected, it is still a curiosity and somewhat of a puzzle to folksong scholars." Thanks for sharing. :-)
Ohhhh, that was so good... thank you all for filling the days of my life with joy... and beauty, and history, and giving my own poor voice a reason to sing to my newborns... they love your voices too...... thank you, and merry Christmas 2019. Much love out there for ya. I think this is better than the album version, but still, love the instruments as well on the pro version, but this was all you.... love it so. Bless you, from Alberta.
I love you. Lol I countlessly listened to your music since ... forever lol I just want you all to know you're amazing and Thank you for your music ♡ This song is awesome lol
Tina Manjaly No special effects, no computer graphics, no background singers or dancers, no lip syncing, this is just good music. May the Maitimes live long!
I HEAR one of my favorite groups of all time. I SEE bunch of guys trying to act like they're not absolutely freezing!
I know eh, i just love it lol
We all know how cold it gets here. The fellas are obviously freezing.

Saw GBS last night in Winnipeg! I've been listening to them for all the 14 years of my life! Best night ever!
It's October. I'm drunk. Loved you fellas since I was a littlkid . Mum loves you guys. I grew up listening to you fellas
Love this pure music, sung from the heart. I have followed GBS from the first time I saw those very young men singing at a small Cultures Canada performance outside the National Gallery in Ottawa. How far they have come! Bravo to making your music career in Canada and keeping to your roots.

2:46 the power of their voices knocks snow off a roof!
Why in the hell is there only 24k subscribers, people this band is fantastic, and yes this is coming from an American big fan since 1998.
It’s Nov 2021 and I just discovered this treasure. And I can’t stop listening to it. And one day, I wish to visit Newfoundland at Christmastime. ❤️🎄
Just watching GBS videos to pass the time until I go out to see them tonight in St. John's.
Let none doubt the lungs of Mr. Bob Hallett.
I saw them in concert a week ago and they sang this song; I swear, Bob has lungs of steel!
🤗🎵🥁🎻🎤😍
Loving you all from Northern Ontario🙋🏼♀️
Oh yeah...well better than 12 days of Xmas. Informing too, total comedy love.
That glint in the eye at 1:29 has made my freaking day, Mr Bodhran.
I get the shivers when I see those guys outside.
One of my favourite songs of theirs along with Good People, Feel It Turn, Goin Up, and Ordinary Day
I love this snow and all and the artists looking so real, not all perfect, I live in Pa USA and am from S. Germany
They were featured on a CBC broadcast tonight, the entire hour.. I had never heard them before. I even thought The Great Big C not Sea.. Now I know! Fantastic show! Love their music! 🎶
my absolute favorite @Christmas ! and I can sing every word along too !!

God, looking at their older videos and its crazy how much they've aged... Time flies..
I remember singing this at primary school in the late 50s early 60s
Christmas 2022..I wake up singing this song. Love it.
Gotta tell my boy Krayzie Bone and Bone Thugs N Harmony to rethink their history of fast rapping. Mi'kmaq new found lander's are the true legends.
Canadian pride is here. :) Loving the music, guys!
I hope you lads long appreciate how good this is. Thank you!
I love Sean’s face in this.😎
I seen them in Regina on Saturday. They are amazing. Loved this group since I was little.
The 12 days of Christmas Newfoundland style!
Saw them in London, ON. just a month or so ago. They were excellent!
I am related to the one singing he is one of my cousins and I'm so happy now I figured of today and I love the song
but they are all singing, unless they are all your cousins?
Ohhhh, that was so good... thank you all for filling the days of my life with joy... and beauty, and history, and giving my own poor voice a reason to sing to my newborns... they love your voices too...... thank you, and merry Christmas 2019. Much love out there for ya.
