THREE SHIPS

Reading edition

Illustration from The Big Book of Nursery Rhymes

I SAW three ships come sailing by, Sailing by, 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, In them then, 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, In them then, in them then, Three pretty girls were in them then, On New-Year's day in the morning.

And 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.
