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

Pray whither sailed those ships all three
On Christmas day, on Christmas day?
Whither sailed those ships all three
On Christmas day in the morning?

They sailed into Bethlehem
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
They sailed into Bethlehem
On Christmas day in the morning

And all the bells on Earth shall ring
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
All the bells on Earth shall ring
On Christmas day in the morning

And all the souls on Earth shall sing
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
All the souls on Earth shall sing
On Christmas day in the morning

Then let us all rejoice again
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Let us all rejoice again
On Christmas day in the morning
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day in the morning

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