Wynken Blynken And Nod

Dm G Am G wynken , blynken , and nod one night , sailed off in a wooden shoe , C Am Dm G they sailed down a river of crystal light into a sea of dew . Dm G Am G "now where are you going and what do you wish?" the old moon asked the three . C Am Dm G "we’re going out fishing for the herring fish that live in the beautiful sea , F G Dm G and such silver and gold have we , " said wynken , blynken , and nod . Dm G Am G so the old moon laughed and sang a song as they rocked in their wooden shoe , C Am Dm G and the breeze that sped them all night long ruffled the waves of dew . Dm G Am G now the stars in the sky were the herring fish that live in the beautiful sea C Am Dm G come cast your nets wherever you wish , never A - feared are we . F G Dm G so sang the stars to the fishermen three , wynken , blynken , and nod . Dm G Am G so all night long their nets they threw to the stars in the twinklin’ foam C Am Dm G then down from the sky came the wooden shoe A - bringin’ the fishermen home . Dm G Am G ’twas all so beautiful a sight it seemed as if it could not be . C Am Dm G and some folks thought it was a dream they dreamed while sailin’ the beautiful sea F G Dm G but i shall name you the fishermen three , wynken , blynken , and nod . Dm G Am G now wynken and blynken are two little eyes and nod is a little head . C Am Dm G and the breeze that sped them all night long is a wee one’s trundle bed . Dm G Am G so close your eyes as mother sings of the beautiful sights that be , C Am Dm G and you shall see such wondrous things as you rock in your misty sea . F G Dm G so sang the stars to the fishermen three , wynken , blynken , and nod .
