i saw three ships

Marianne Faithfull

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?

Our Saviour, Christ, and His Lady
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Our Saviour, Christ, and His Lady
On Christmas day in the morning

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

And all the angels in Heaven shall sing
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And all the angels in Heaven shall sing
On Christmas day in the morning

And let us all rejoice and sing
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And let us all rejoice and sing
On Christmas day in the morning
On Christmas day in the morning
