Lyrics to I Saw Three Ships (traditional Christmas carol)
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day in the morning
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day in the morning
They sailed into Bethlehem
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Sailed into Bethlehem
On Christmas day in the morning
They sailed into Bethlehem
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Sailed into Bethlehem
On Christmas day in the morning
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
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
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
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
