Wynken, Blynken and Nod

[Verse 1] Wynken, Blynken and Nod one night Sailed off in a wooden shoe Sailed on a river of crystal light Into a sea of dew "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 beautiful sea Nets of silver and gold have we" Said Wynken, Blynken and Nod [Verse 2] The old moon laughed, and he sang a song As they rocked in the wooden shoe And the wind that sped them all night long Ruffled the waves of dew The little stars were the herring fish That live in the beautiful sea "Now, cast your nets wherever you wish For never afear are we" So cried the stars to the fishermen three Wynken, Blynken and Nod [Verse 3] All night long their nets they threw For the fish in the twinkling foam Then, down from the sky came the wooden shoe Bringin' the fishermen home 'Twas all so pretty a sail, it seemed As if it could not be And some folks thought 'twas a dream they dreamed Of sailing that beautiful sea But I shall name you the fishermen three Wynken, Blynken and Nod [Verse 4] Wynken, Blynken are two little eyes Nod is a little head And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies A wee one's trundlin' bed Now, close your eyes while Mother sings Of wonderful sights that be And you shall see the beautiful things As you rock in the misty sea As the old moon rocked the fishermen three Wynken, Blynken and Nod
