“WHAT ARE THEY BRINGING?” |
 | Young Maids & Old China |  |
“WHAT ARE THEY BRINGING?”
There were three ships sailing from far-off lands,
And three little maidens, who watched on the sands.
And three little maidens, who watched on the sands.
“What are they bringing?” says little Liz:
“Nuts and apples and oranges.”
“Nuts and apples and oranges.”
“What are they bringing?” fair Helen sings:
“Pearls and rubies and diamond rings.”
“Pearls and rubies and diamond rings.”
“What are they bringing?” sighs Marjorie:
“Letters of love from over the sea.”
“Letters of love from over the sea.”
