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.



The Virgin Mary and Christ were there,

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

The Virgin Mary and Christ were there,

On Christmas Day in the morning.



Then let us all rejoice amen,

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

Then let us all rejoice amen,

On Christmas Day in the morning.
