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.” |
