As I sat under the 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
The Sycamore Tree was written by Peter Warlock.
