   I saw a ship a-sailing,
   A-sailing on the sea,
   And it was full of pretty things
   For baby and for me.

   There were sweetmeats in the cabin,
   And apples in the hold,
   The sails were made of silk,
   And the masts were made 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 cried, "Alas, alack!"

   I saw a ship a-sailing,
   A-sailing on the sea,
   And it was full of pretty things
   For baby and for me.

   @hd13 Thank you so very much for these lines! Reminds me of a song, which put in english might be something like this:

   Silken flag and sails of silver
   A golden ship she went to sea
   On vessel men of young age
   Who were called the sailor-men
   Once she came to port of homestead
   And the anchor was let go
   To the sailors came a lassie
   She was young and beautiful
   Tell me true my dearest seamen
   Wheres my brother, have you seen?
   Tell us, tell us, girl so pretty
   What your brother looks alike?
   He has curls and cheeks a-blossom
   Wears a hat thats quite like yours
   Oh you poor, poor little lassie -
   Kin of yours is down below
   Sand it scours his cheeks a-blossom
   Waves are playing with his hair
   Tell us girl so young and pretty
   What you vow whom brings him home?
   For the first of you who finds him
   Awaits a silken hankertshief
   And the second one who brings him
   He will have a golden ring
   To the third, the one who hands him
   I will gladly vow myself
   Blinding white are waves a-swelling
   Brighter more ill make his sails.
