On the first day of Christmas,my true love sent to me
A partridge in a pear tree.
On the second day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the third day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the fourth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the fifth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the sixth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the seventh day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the eighth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the ninth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the tenth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the eleventh day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the twelfth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree!

There is no specific mention of anything unlucky during the twelve days of Christmas. The song "The Twelve Days of Christmas" is a joyful and celebratory song that highlights the gifts given by a true love each day.
eight maids a' milking
In the Christmas song "The Twelve Days of Christmas," there are a total of five golden rings. Each day, the gift of golden rings is given, and this occurs on the fifth day of Christmas. The repetition of gifts throughout the song means that over the twelve days, the cumulative total would be 30 rings if you count them all.
On the fifth day of Christmas, the person's true love gave her 5 golden rings in the famous song "The Twelve Days of Christmas"
In the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas," each item given represents a different gift, and while birds are featured prominently, they are not explicitly designated to have partners. The song lists a variety of birds, such as the partridge, turtle doves, and swans, but it does not imply that each species has a partner in the traditional sense. Instead, the gifts symbolize abundance and celebration rather than specific pairings. Thus, while it's a charming idea, the song does not provide a basis for this interpretation.
The seventh is 'swans-a-swimming' and the tenth is 'lords-a-leaping'.
