Glasgow Ships.
Glasgow ships come sailing in, Come sailing in, come sailing in ; Glasgow ships come sailing in, On a fine summer morning.

Three times kiss you, four times bless you, Five times butter and bread Upon a silver salver.
Who shall we send it to, Send it to, send it to? Who shall we send it to ?

Take her by the lily-white hand, Lead her over the water ; Give her kisses, one, two, three. She is the favourite daughter.
