AS I SAT ON A SUNNY BANK.

second version.

1 As I sat on a sunny bank,
A sunny bank, a sunny bank,
As I sat on a sunny bank
On Christmas Day in the morning.


2 I saw three ships come sailing by,
Come sailing by, come sailing by,
I saw three ships come sailing by
On Christmas Day in the morning.


3 And who d'you think were on the ship.
Were on the ship, were on the ship.
And who d'you think were on the ship
But Joseph and his Fair Lady.


4 O he did whistle and she did sing.
And all the bells on earth did ring
For joy our Saviour Christ was born
On Christmas Day in the morning.
