Donovan - Wynken, Blynken And Nod Lyrics
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one nightSailed off in a wooden shoe,Sailed on a river of crystal lightInto a sea of dew."Where are you going, what do you wish ?"The old moon asked the tree."We have come to fish for the herring fishThat live in this beutiful sea,Nets of silver and gold have we,"Said Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.The old moon laughed and he sang a saongAsd they rocked in the wooden shoeAnd the wind that sped them all night longRuffled the waves of dew.The little stars werfe the herring fishThat lived in the beautiful sea."Now cast your nets wherver you wishFor never afeared are we,"So cried the sdtars tioo the fishermen three:Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.All night long their nets they threwFor the fish in the twinkling foam.Then down from the skies came the wooden shoeBringing the fishermen homer.'Twas all so prettty a sail it seemedAs if it could not beAnd some folks thought 'twas a dream they dreamedOf sailing that beautiful seaBut I shall name you the fishermen three:Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.Wynken and Blynken are two little eyesAnd Nod is a little head.And the wooden shoe that sailed the skiesIs a wee one's trunble bed.So close your eyes while mother singsOf wonderful sights that beAnd you shall see the beautiful thingsAs you rocvk in the misty seaAs the old moon rocked the fishermen three:Wynken, Blynken, and Nod
