Lyrics

[Verse 1] I saw three ships come sailing in Come sailing in, come sailing in I saw three ships come sailing in ⁠On Christmas day in the morning [Verse 2] And what was on those ships all three ⁠On Christmas day, on Christmas day? And what was on those ships all three ⁠On Christmas day in the morning? [Verse 3] Our Saviour Christ and His lady And His lady, and His lady Our Saviour Christ and His lady ⁠On Christmas day in the morning [Verse 4] Pray whither sailed those ships all three ⁠On Christmas day, on Christmas day? Pray whither sailed those ships all three ⁠On Christmas day in the morning? [Verse 5] O they sailed to Bethlehem ⁠to Bethlehem, to Bethlehem O they sailed to Bethlehem ⁠On Christmas day in the morning [Verse 6] And all the bells on earth shall ring On earth shall ring, on earth shall ring And all the souls on earth shall sing ⁠On Christmas day in the morning [Verse 7] Then let us all rejoice amain Then let us all rejoice amain Then let us all rejoice amain ⁠On Christmas day in the morning [Outro] ⁠On Christmas day in the morning
