Wynken and Blynken and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe
Sailed in 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've come to fish for the herring fish
That live in this beautiful 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 their wooden shoe
And the wind that sped them all night long
Ruffled the waves of dew
Well, the little stars were the herring fish
That lived in the beautiful sea
Now cast your nets wherever 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 and the twinkling foam
Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe
Bringin' the fisherman home
'Twas all so pretty a sight it seemed
As if it could not be
And some folks thought it was a dream they 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 Nod is a little head
And the wooden shoe that sailed the sky
Is a wee one's trundle bed
So close your eyes while my 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...
