I SAW THREE SHIPS


I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day in the morning.

And what was in those ships all three?
On Christmas Day, etc
And what was in etc
On Christmas day in etc.

Our Saviour, Christ, and His Lady.
Pray, whither sailed those ships all three?
O, they sailed to Bethlehem.
And all the bells on earth shall ring.
And all the angels in heaven shall sing.
And all the souls on earth shall sing.
Then let us all rejoice and sing.
