Three Jolly Welshmen

There were three jolly Welshmen,
As I have heard say,
And they went a-hunting
Upon St. David’s day.

All the day they hunted,
And nothing could they find;
But a ship a-sailing,
A-sailing with the wind.

One said it was a ship,
The other he said “Nay”;
The third he said it was a house,
With the chimney blown away.

And all the night they hunted,
And nothing could they find,
But the moon a-gliding,
A-gliding with the wind.

One said it was the moon,
The other he said “Nay”;
The third he said it was a cheese,
With half o’ it cut away.
