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
|
