I Saw a Ship a-Sailing

Well I saw a ship a sailing

It was sailing on the sea

It was full of pretty things

For baby and for meThere were sweetmeats in the cabin

There were apples in the hold

The sails were made of silk

And the masts were made of goldI saw a ship a sailing

It was sailing on the sea

It was full of pretty things

For baby and for meThe four-and-twenty sailors

That stood upon the decks

Were four-and-twenty little mice

With chains around their necksAnd the captain was a yellow duck

With a packet on his back

And when the ship began to move

The captain cried,a latter lapI saw a ship a sailing

It was sailing on the sea

It was full of pretty things

For baby and for me
