2. I saw three ships come sailing by, come sailing by, come sailing by.
I saw three ships come sailing by on Christmas Day in the morning.

3. And who d'you think were on the ship, were on the ship, were on the ship?
And who d'you think were on the ship, but Joseph and his fair lady?

4. Oh, he did whistle and she did sing and all the bells on earth did ring.
For joy our Saviour Christ was born on Christmas Day in the morning.
