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 man asked the three we ve come to fish for the herring fish that swim in the beautiful sea nets of silver and gold have we said wynken blynken and nod so all night long their nets they threw to the stars in the twinklin foam then down from the sky came the wooden shoe bringing the fisherman home twas oh so pretty a sail it seemed as if it could not be and some folks thought twas a dream they d dreamed of sailing the beautiful sea but i shall name you the fisherman three wynken blynken and nod wynken and blynken are two little eyes and nod is a weary head and the wooden shoe that sailed the skies is a wee one s trundle bed so shut your eyes while mommy sings of the wonderful sights that be and you shall see all the beautiful things as you rock in that misty sea just like the fisherman three wynken blynken and nod just like the fisherman three wynken blynken and nod
