Thanks, Bob! The tune's different, but I've also wondered if the two were related.

Sounds like a variation on the traditional English carol. The following website might be of interest. If you do a search on the web for 'three ships' you will get many hits ... quite a popular theme!

Anybody know anything about a song with the lyrics "I saw three ships come sailing in, goodnight, my lover, goodnight; a-loaded down with women and men, goodnight my lover goodnight"? My mom used to sing it, but she doesn't remember where it came from, and I've never heard it anywhere else. Maybe it has to do with slave ships???

How to insert music:
Add a bit of sheet music, along with a MIDI file, simply by entering note names in Lilypond syntax between the [L] and [/L] tags.
For example, you can try what happens if you enter: [l]g'4 g'4 d''4 d''4 e''4 e''4 d''2[/l] (use the Preview function if you don't actually want to post this).
You can create these lists of note names by clicking on piano keys here.
How to post an audio recording:
If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:
- Record your audio here.
- You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
- copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]
How to mark a thread as solved:
If the original question in a thread is solved, please mark it as solved using the "solved" icon (or by just typing [solved] into your post). This makes life easier for people who are willing to identify melodies, since unsolved problems are easier to spot that way. If a problem turns out to not be solved after all, just write [/solved] in a new post, and the thread will be labeled accordingly.
