           Traditional, 1666







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, on Christmas day?
And what was in those ships all three
    on Christmas day in the morning?









When they sailed into Bethlehem
    on Christmas day, on Christmas day.
When they sailed into Bethlehem
    on Christmas day in the morning.









Then let us all rejoice again,
    on Christmas day, on Christmas day.
Then let us all rejoice again
    on Christmas day in the morning.
