Blackmore's Night - I Saw Three Ships Lyrics

HOah! Happy 3 Kings 2020, Everyone! Deus Vult! Semper Fidelis! Vive, Cristo Rey et Spiritus Sanctus! Viva, Ecclessia Catholica Traditional!!! Gloria in Excelsis Deo! Viva, Maria-Mater Dei... Salve Regina!!!

January 01, 2020 and I came caking again to replay this wonderful Christmas classic. Such a song! Lively. Lovely too.

Im enjoying this tune,something they would sing in the shire.😆😆..jk

Now I have the urge to listen Pop goes the weasel

Shut up turds!!!

Does anybody else think this song has a Viking-feeling to it?

Feels more Celtic to me

This song connects me to my Celtic side.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎅🎅🎅

I think it's funny how we don't actually know what the references to the "ships" are historically. The lyrics state that the ships sailed into Bethlehem, but the nearest body of water is the Dead Sea which is 32km away. There are a few theories though.

I love this version, hurdy gurdy makes everything better!

Donovan approves this comment!

I loved

I am in choir and i danced with that music i loved it also the song😁

I secretly harbour racist views...racist views...racist views. I secretly harbour racist views....I don't think Asians drive well!

I love this version but her whistling her s's when she's singing irritates my soul.

Happy December 2019!

This sounds like Christmas in Ireland.

The original version, tells who was in those ships!



I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day in the morning.

And what was in those ships all three,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?
And what was in those ships all three,
On Christmas Day in the morning?

The Virgin Mary and Christ were there,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;
The Virgin Mary and Christ were there,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

Pray, wither sailed those ships all three,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;
Pray, wither sailed those ships all three,
On Christmas Day in the morning?

O they sailed into Bethlehem,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;
O they sailed into Bethlehem,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

And all the bells on earth shall ring,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;
And all the bells on earth shall ring,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

And all the Angels in Heaven shall sing,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;
And all the Angels in Heaven shall sing,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

And all the souls on earth shall sing,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;
And all the souls on earth shall sing,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

Then let us all rejoice again,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;
Then let us all rejoice again,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

Interesting! Very different type of Christmas song! This almost sounds medieval, particularly medieval Irish. I really like this!

always wondered what happened to Ritchie after Purple...............

The picture shows Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Bavaria.

I’m singing a song like this in choir except the lyrics are a bit different and it’s definitely shorter

do u go to armendariz

I'm singing a song like this except it has different lyrics and different music and it's actually not a song because there's no singing and no music at all and it's a dance but it's totally the same.

I saw three goals go sailing in,
On Saturday,
On Saturday.
I saw three goals go sailing in,
'Cos Everton are appalling...

Shout out to anyone listening to these in October!

these might be the very best renditions of Christmas classics I've heard in 30 years.

Idk how I remembered this but it popped into my mind lol

all the ships would be sunk from the ice, fuck your ships

the titanic?

medieval scottish

Yes it's mineral Scottish

Sounds kind of like the Clock Towne theme

1.25 speed only ♥

Big yin gave this song to me. Even funnier now i know he use to dance it naked

I listen to this song every xmas 😍

Does anyone else know this version of the song?
I saw three ships come sailing in
on Christmas day,
on Christmas day,
I saw three ships come sailing in on Christmas day in the morning.
And what was in those ships all three
on Christmas day,
On Christmas day,
And what was in those ships all three
on Christmas day in the morning.
Three pretty maids were in them then
On Christmas day,
On Christmas day,
Three pretty maids were in them then
On Christmas day in the morning.
And one could whistle and one could sing and one could play on the violin,
Such joy was there at my wedding on New Year's Day in the morning!

Lunarmaid There was more to it than that; I remember other verses, too...

@j shays so it's not just my family that knows that version? That's good! I've been searching for it for ages, cause I couldn't remember the full lyrics, but I can't find it anywhere! Good to see that someone else knows my version!

I was looking for vinyls and I found this

Great melody. Love the medieval sound.

Who doesnt like this ????

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!!!!!!

Could the "three ships" be Jesus, Mary and Joseph?

George Walter probably the three wisemen

Ahoy shipmates!

Excellent. I get so weary of USA Christmas carols. Give me traditional tunes without booms and fanfare.

Lol from USA

Δέσποινα Α. hi

Again left out any reference to Christ and His Mother...."The Virgin Mary and Christ were there,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;
The Virgin Mary and Christ were there,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

REAL MADRID ARE APPAAALING! 442oons anyone? 😂😂

I don't know why but this style of music just makes me beyond turn for some reason.

yes THE Ritchie Blackmore

This gives me hope because I have the same lisp as this singer and I've always been afraid to pursue singing because of it. But she sounds beautiful, and maybe I can, too!!

exactly..may that be your Christmas gift!

YOU GO!!! DO WHAT YOU LOVE

almost anyone can sing just dont try and force your voice to a pitch it cant do yet. i know someone in my church who does that shes naturally a tenor but tries to be a soprano. thats the same as me a baritone trying to sing tenor

I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, in the morning.

And what was in those ships, all three?
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
And what was in those ships all three
On Christmas Day, in the morning?

The Virgin Mary and Christ were there
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
The Virgin Mary and Christ were there
On Christmas Day, in the morning.

Let us all rejoice, amain,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
And let us all rejoice, amain,
On Christmas Day, in the morning.

Shelly is starting to get pissed
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
Shelly got up and killed the turds
On Christmas Day, in the MORNING!

so good

Rick Santelli sent me here!

Interesting how the Lord shows in this song the three wise men as the three ships sailing in to worship our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

My family is Nautingham and yes Robin is NOT our blood

I saw three ships sail into Bethlehem



How?

Will Miles, they were obviously airships... Haven't you seen Mortal Engines?

READ THE WORDS of the SoNG...........you dear and darlin' people. God bless us all, I hope and pray. FOR PEACE ON EARTH GOOD WILL TO ALL.

That painting depicts a place 30 minutes away from my home. It´s in Rothenburg :D

Who's watching on 2017

Cecilia Recio how about 2018

I'm here in September, 2018, and loving this version of this wonderful song.

Well, the warm weather is dying off, time to listen to Christmas music. October 2018.

Who is here from South Park?

Shut up, turds

One of my very favorite Christmas carols. Merry Christmas to you and yours! <3

τελιο

Does anybody else catch themselves moving to the beat this song?⛵⛵⛵🎄

this is my fav song ever but cried the first time I heard it

2008 I was 2 when this was posted#2017 or 2018 in 30 days

im doing this for my concert my St dorthy sliema grade 4:2

The best version of this song yet....

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥A 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 BOP 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

epic battle

One of my favourites excellently sang here!

This doesn't sound like a Christmas song at all lol I like it tho

Let's suppose the ships are the three kanto starter pokemon.

I am sitting here learning when to handclap to this song.

Good show, Ritchie and company.

I had to dance to this 😐

Whether horses riding me away or three ships sailing toward me, there's mystery and that enchants me. People need to resign themselves to mystery. It keeps us wondering and young. "Let us all rejoice again on any of the three ships."

The beautiful sound of Christmas Past.... <3

beautiful.

My favourite Christmas song , thank you =)

We had to sing this at my Christmas concert

A plus with my bottle of Pinot Noir! I have to look into more of their tunes! Merry Christmas!!

They do one wrong note in this & it bothers me. Otherwise, love it. But I can't get that wrong note out of my head.

Every Christmas, every Christmas... in the morning

I'm in high school and we're playing this in band

Awesome Christmas song!

Merry Christmas

iTS CHRISTMAS!
