Winken, Blinken And Nod

Wynken and blynken and nod one night

Sailed off in a wooden shoe

Sailed on a river of crystal light

Into a sea of dew

Now where are you going

And what do you wish

The old moon asked the three

We have come to fish for the herring fish

That live in this beatiful sea

Nets of silver and gold have we

Said wynken and blynken and nod

The old moon laughed and sang a song

As they rocked in the wooden shoe

And the wind that sped them all night long

Ruffled the waves of dew

Well the little stars where the herring fish

That lived in the beautiful sea

Now cast your nets where ever you wish

Never afraid are we

So sang the stars to the fishermen three

Wynken and blynken and nod

All night long their nets they threw

To the stars in the twinkling foam

Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe

Bringing the fishermen home

'Twas all so pretty a sight it seemed

As if it could not be

But some folks thought 'twas a dream they'd dreamed

Of sailing the beautiful sea

But I shall name you the fishermen three

Wynken and blynken and nod

Now wynken and blynken are two little eyes

And a nod is a little head

And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies

Is a wee one's trundle bed

So close your eyes while daddy sings

Of the beautiful sights that be

You will see the wonderful things

As you rock in the misty sea

Where the old moon rocked the fishermen three

Wynken and blynken and nod

Wynken and blynken and nod

Wynken and blynken and nod
