1 As I sat on a sunny bank,
On Christmas Day in the morning,
I spied three ships come sailing by,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

2 And who should be with those three ships
But Joseph and his fair lady!
O he did whistle, and she did sing,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

3 And all the bells on earth did ring,
On Christmas Day in the morning,
For joy that our Saviour he was born
On Christmas Day in the morning.

The Hymnal for Boys and Girls #32
1 As I sat on a sunny bank,
On Christmas Day in the morning,

2 I spied three ships come sailing by,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

3 And who should be with those three ships
But Joseph and his fair lady!

4 O he did whistle, and she did sing,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

5 And all the bells on earth did ring,
On Christmas Day in the morning,

6 For joy that our Saviour he was born
On Christmas Day in the morning.
