TWO fair ships are sailing,
Sailing over the sea,--
Willie's ship and my ship--
Full as full can be;
Side by side, my Willie says,
Like as pin to pin.
Oh, the happy, happy days
When our ships come in!
While our ships are sailing,
Sailing over the sea,--
Willie's ship and my ship,--
Full as full can be,
Sailing on the sunny tide,
Grieving would be sin:
Soon or late, and side by side,
Shall our ships come in.
