Wynken, Blynken and Nod
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 Nests of silver and gold have we Said Wynken, Blynken, and Nod
The old moon laughed and sang a song, As they rocked in a wooden shoe And the wind that sped them all night long, Ruffled the waves of dew The little stars were the herring fish That lived in that beautiful sea 'Now cast your nets wherever you wish - Never afeard are we So cried the stars to the fishermen three: Wynken, 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 'Twas all so pretty a sail it seemed As if it could not be And some folks thought Twas a dream they'd dreamed Of sailing that beautiful sea But I shall name you the fishermen three Wynken, Blynken, and Nod
Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes And Nod is a little head And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies Is a wee one's trundle-bed So shut your eyes while mother sings Of wonderful sights that be And you shall see the beautiful things As you rock in the misty sea Where the old shoe rocked The fishermen three Wynken, Blynken, and Nod
