I saw three ships come sailing by,
Come sailing by, come sailing by,
I saw three ships come sailing by,
On New Year's Day in the morning.
And what was in those ships all three,
Those ships all three, those ships all three
And what was in those ships all three,
On New Year's Day in the morning?
Three pretty girls were in all three,
Were in all three, were in all three,
Three pretty girls were in all three,
On New Year's Day in the morning.
And one could whistle, and one could sing,
The other play on the violin;
Such joy there was at my wedding,
On New Year's Day in the morning.
I saw three ships come sailing by,
Come sailing by, come sailing by,
I saw three ships come sailing by,
On New Year's Day in the morning.
