Happy Holidays, friends! Twas the Friday before Christmas... Freebie Friday!!! A free track for you to download every Friday... johnluttrell/music_freebie_fridays.html This week is one of my favorite holiday classics, I Saw Three Ships. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I Saw Three Ships (Come Sailing In) is a traditional and popular Christmas carol from England. A variant of its parent tune Greensleeves, the earliest printed version of I Saw Three Ships is from the 17th century, possibly Derbyshire, and was also published by William Sandys in 1833. The lyrics mention the ships sailing into Bethlehem, but the nearest body of water is the Dead Sea about 20 miles away. The reference to three ships is thought to originate in the three ships that bore the purported relics of the Biblical magi to Cologne Cathedral in the 12th century.
