I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day in the morning
The break of dawn on Christmas Day
Oh on Christmas Day
And what was in those ships all three
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
And what was in those ships all three
On Christmas Day in the morning
A happy song on Christmas Day
Oh on Christmas Day
The Virgin Mary and Christ were there
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
The Virgin Mary and Christ were there
On Christmas Day in the morning
God's own Son on Christmas Day
Oh on Christmas Day
And all the angels in heaven shall sing
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
And all the angels in heaven shall sing
On Christmas Day in the morning
A happy song on Christmas Day
Oh on Christmas Day
And all the world is filled with Joy
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
And all the world is filled with Joy
On Christmas Day in the morning
