lyrics

I SAW THREE SHIPS (medley)
Trad. Other music & Arr: Graham Pratt

1. 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.

2. And whither sailed those ships all three,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?
Whither sailed those ships all three,
On Christmas Day in the morning?

3. One from East and one from West;
One to carry souls to rest.

4. O they sailed into Bethlehem,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;
They sailed into Bethlehem,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

5. Wassail wassail wassail o!
Wassail wassail wassail o!

6. 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.

7. Knock on the knocker and ring on the bell,
Now give us a shilling for singing so well;
If not a shilling a tanner will do,
And if not a tanner we'll bid you adieu.

8. 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.

9. Then let us all rejoice again,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;
Let us all rejoice again,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

10. Wassail Wassail Wassail o…
Wassail Wassail Wassail Wassail Wassail o!

11. 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...Wassail o!
