A Nursery Song about New Year’s Day – “I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing By”

Saturday, December 31st, 2005

I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing By

I saw three ships come sailing by,
Come sailing by, come sailing by.
I saw three ships come sailing by,
On New Year’s Day in the morning.

And what do you think was in them then?
Was in them then, was in them then?
And what do you think was in them then,
On New Year’s Day in the morning?

Three pretty girls were in them then,
Were in them then, were in them then.
Three pretty girls were in them then,
On New Year’s Day in the morning.

And one could whistle, and one could sing,
And one could play on the violin,
Such joy there was at my wedding,
On New Year’s Day in the morning.

A Couple of New Year’s Nursery Rhymes and a Quote by Ben Franklin

Saturday, December 31st, 2005

Here are two old nursery rhymes related to the New Year…

He who is born on New Year’s morn
Will have his own way as sure as you were born.

***

Married when the year is new,
He’ll be loving, kind and true.

***

Here’s a quote from Ben Franklin about the New Year…

Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.

Happy New Year!

Lisa
