Song language: English
I Saw a Ship A-Sailing |
| Well I saw a ship a sailing |
| It was sailing on the sea |
| It was full of pretty things |
| For baby and for me |
| There were sweetmeats in the cabin |
| There were apples in the hold |
| The sails were made of silk |
| And the masts were made of gold |
| I saw a ship a sailing |
| It was sailing on the sea |
| It was full of pretty things |
| For baby and for me |
| The four-and-twenty sailors |
| That stood upon the decks |
| Were four-and-twenty little mice |
| With chains around their necks |
| And the captain was a yellow duck |
| With a packet on his back |
| And when the ship began to move |
| The captain cried, a latter lap |
| I saw a ship a sailing |
| It was sailing on the sea |
| It was full of pretty things |
| For baby and for me |
