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.

And let us all rejoice amain, on Christmas day, on Christmas day,
And let us all rejoice amain, on Christmas day in the morning.

Three ships on that day, followed the moon from far away,
Three ships on that day, came into port on that winter's day.

Chorus
