I sat by my old cottage door,

Old cottage door, old cottage door,

As I sat by my old cottage door

On Christmas Day in the morning.

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.

I asked them what they had got in them,

Had got in them, had got in them,

I asked them what they had got in them

On Christmas Day in the morning.

They said they'd got their Saviour there,

Their Saviour there, their Saviour there,

They said they'd got their Saviour there

On Christmas Day in the morning.

I asked them where they were taking Him to,

Taking Him to, taking Him to,

I asked them where they were taking Him to

On Christmas Day in the morning.

They said they took Him to Jerusalem,

Jerusalem, Jerusalem,

They said they took Him to Jerusalem

On Christmas Day in the morning.

I asked them what they would do with Him there,

Do with Him there, do with Him there,

I asked them what they would do with Him there

On Christmas Day in the morning.

They said that they would Him crucify,

Him crucify, Him crucify,

They said that they would Him crucify

On Christmas Day in the morning.
