Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I saw three ships come sailin' in

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day

Saw three ships come sailin' in

On Christmas Day in the morning

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

They sailed into Bethlehem

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day

They sailed into Bethlehem

On Christmas Day in the morning

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

Then let us all rejoice again

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day

Let us all rejoice again

On Christmas Day in the morning

[Verse 7]

I saw three ships come sailin' in

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day

Saw three ships come sailin' in

On Christmas Day in the morning

[Verse 8]

Saw three ships come sailin' in

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day

Saw three ships come sailin' in

On Christmas Day in the morning
