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?…

A treasure chest of gold was there

My piece, my pistol, and cutlass were there

Whiskey, beer, and grog were there

And grog and grog and grog and grog

O, whiskey, beer, and grog were there…

A busty, lusty lass was there…

On Chirstmas Day in my cabin

The Virgin Mary and Christ were there

Then let us all get drunk, Amen!
