As I sat on a sunny bank

As I sat on a sunny bank
On Chdstmas day in the morning,
I saw three ships come sailing by
On Chdstmas day in the morning.
And who do you think were in those ships
But Joseph and his fair lady;
He did whistle and she did sing,
And all the bells on earth did ring
For joy our Savior he was born
On Chdstmas day in the morning.
