I Saw A Ship A-Sailing is an English nursery rhyme by Mother Goose.
- I saw a ship a-sailing,
- a-sailing on the sea,
- And oh, it was all laden
- with pretty things for thee!
- There were comfits in the cabin,
- and apples in the hold,
- the sails were made of silk,
- and the masts were all of gold.
- The four and twenty sailors
- that stood between the decks,
- Were four and twenty white mice,
- with chains about their necks.
- The captain was a duck,
- With a packet on his back,
- And when the ship began to move,
- The captain said, "Quack, Quack!"
