Sting

“I Saw Three Ships”

I fell in love with this song the moment I heard it. My daughter’s dance teacher used it for one of the group’s Christmas ballet performances and I was amazed! The album version is considerably slower and not as busy, but this version here is even more special because of the plethora of instruments. It’s like a huge jam session. I hope you enjoy it.

 

 

LYRICS
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 in those ships all three?
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And what was in those ships all three?
On Christmas day in the morning.

Our Saviour, Christ, and His Lady
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Our Saviour, Christ, and His Lady
On Christmas day in the morning.

Pray, whither sailed those ships all three?
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Pray, whither sailed those ships all three?
On Christmas day in the morning.

O, they sailed to Bethlehem
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
O, they sailed to Bethlehem
On Christmas day in the morning.

And all the bells on earth shall ring
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And all the bells on earth shall ring
On Christmas day in the morning.

And all the angels in heaven shall sing
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And all the angels in heaven shall sing
On Christmas day in the morning.

And all the souls on earth shall sing
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And all the souls on earth shall sing
On Christmas day in the morning.

Then let us all rejoice and sing
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Then let us all rejoice and sing
On Christmas day in the morning.

This is from the album:

A Very Special Christmas 3

    I fell in love with this song! I have never heard of the album version, but I’m sure I’ll love this one better! I like how it gives off sort of an northern England or Irish vibe!!
