I saw three ships come sailing by
Come sailing by, come sailing by
I saw three ships come sailing by
On New Years day in the morning
And what do you think was in them then?
Was in them then, was in them then
And what do you think was in them then?
On New Years day in the morning
Three pretty girls were in them then
Were in them then, were in them then
Three pretty girls were in them then
On New Years day in the morning
One could whistle another could sing
And the other could play on the violin
Such a joy was there at my wedding
On New Years 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 Years day in the morning
