"Ship A-Sailing"
| |
|
|
|
| |
1. |
I saw a ship a-sailing,
A-sailing on the sea,
And it was deeply laden
With pretty things for me.
There was candy in the cabin
And apples in the hold;
The sails were made of satin
And the masts were made of gold.

2. |
The four and twenty sailors
That stood between the decks,
Were four and twenty black mice
With rings about their necks.
The captain was a duck, a duck
With a jacket on his back;
And when the fairy ship set sail
The captain said, "Quack, quack."
