Wynken, Blynken and Nod - Jack Palmer/Amanda Palmer

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

Where are you going what do you're wish

The old moon asked of the three

We're going out fishing

For herring fish that live in the 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

The little stars were the herring fish

That lived in the beautiful sea

Cast your nets wherever you wish

Never afeared are we

So sang the stars to the fisherman 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

Bringing 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

I will name you the fisherman three

Wynken 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 mother sings

Of the beautiful sights that be

You will see the wonderful things

As you rock on the misty sea

Where the old moon rocks the fisherman three

Wynken and blynken and nod
