Donovan – Wynken, Blynken and Nod Lyrics

Artist: Donovan
Song: 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 for to fish for the herring fish
That live in this beautiful sea

Nets of silver and gold have we”
Said Wynken, Blynken and Nod
The old moon laughed, and he sang a song
As they rocked in the wooden shoe

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
For never afear 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

‘Twas all so pretty a sail, it seemed
As if it could not be
And some folks thought ’twas a dream they dreamed
Of sailing that beautiful sea

But I shall name you the fishermen three
Wynken, Blynken and Nod
Wynken, Blynken are two little eyes
Nod is a little head

The wooden shoe that sailed the skies
A wee one’s trundling bed
So, close your eyes while Mother sings
Of wonderful sights that be

And you should see the beautiful things
As you rock in a misty sea
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three
Wynken, Blynken and Nod
