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 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-Year’s 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-Year’s day in the morning.

 

One could whistle and one could sing

And one could play on the violin.

Such joy there was at my wedding

On New-Year’s day in the morning.
