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
What was on those ships o' three
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
A little boy and a lady
On Christmas Day, in the morning
Oh, li li li
Li li li
Li li li li li li li
Oh, they sailed for Bethlehem
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
Yes, they sailed for Bethlehem
On Christmas Day in the morning
Let us all rejoice and sing
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
And on the bells on Earth will ring
On Christmas Day, in the morning
On Christmas Day, in the morning
On Christmas Day, in the morning
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
