I saw three ships come sailing by

I saw three ships come sailing by,

Come sailing by, come 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, Was in them then, was in them then?

And what do you think was in them then, Was in them then, was in them then?

Three pretty girls were in them then,

Were in them then, were in them then,

On New Year’s day in the morning?

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.

三そうの船が来たのを見た。帆をあげて、

帆をあげて、帆を揚げて

三そうの船が来たのを見た。帆をあげて、

お正月の朝に。

船の中には何が乗ってると思う

船の中には、船の中には？

船の中には何が乗ってると思う

船の中には、船の中には？

船の中に三人のかわいい娘が乗っていた。

船の中に、船の中に、

お正月の朝に。

一人は口笛を吹いて、一人は歌を歌って、

そしてもう一人はバイオリンを弾いた。

なんて楽しい私の結婚式は、

お正月の朝に。
