As I Sat Under a Sycamore Tree

As I sat under a sycamore tree, a sycamore tree, a sycamore tree,

I, looked me out upon the sea,

A Christmas day in the morning.

I saw three ships a-sailing there, a-sailing there, a-sailing there,

The Virgin Mary and Christ they bare,

A Christmas day in the morning.

He did whistle and she did sing, she did sing, she did sing,

And all the bells on earth did ring

A Christmas day in the morning.

And now we hope to taste your cheer, taste your cheer, taste your cheer,

And wish you all a happy New Year,

A Christmas day in the morning.
