I saw two ships come sailing in....

I saw two ships come sailing in,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
I saw two ships come sailing in
Lord Nelson and Ten-acious.

What were those ships containing-in
Containing-in, containing-in
What were those ships containing-in
On Christmas Day in the morning.

Voyage crew like me and you,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
Voyage crew like me and you
On Christmas Day in the morning.

Up the rigging, along the yards
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
Up the rigging along the yards
On Christmas Day in the morning.

The sails are set the wind is fair,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas day
The Sails are set the wind is fair
On Christmas day in the morning.

The Captain calls all hands on deck,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
The Captain calls all hands on deck
On Christmas Day in the morning.

The crew all muster with gusto,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
The crew all muster with gusto
On Christmas Day in the morning.

The Captain says three cheers to you
Three cheers to me, three cheers to thee
We all love the JST.
On Christmas Day in the morning.

To the tune of 'I saw three ships come sailing in'; words by Sonja Davison
