Chorus:
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 on those ships all three
on christmas day, on christmas day
a little boy and our lady
on christmas day in the morning
Oh they sailed to bethlehem
on christmas day, on christmas day
oh they sailed to bethlehem
on christmas day in the morning
Then let us all rejoice and sing
on christmas day, on christmas day
and all the bells on earth shall ring
on christmas day in the morning
Chorus:
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
