I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day in the morning

And what was on those ships all three
On Christmas day, on Christmas Day

On those ships were refugees
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day

There's no room here for you to stay
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day

So those three ships put out to sea
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
The Hope, the Faith, the Charity
On Christmas Day in the morning
