Winkin', Blinkin' And Nod

Winkin' and Blinkin' and Nod one night

Sailed off on a wooden shoe

Sailed on a river of crystal light

Into a sea of dew

"Now where are you going and what do you wish?"

The old moon asked the three

"Well, we're going out fishing for herring fish"

"That live in the beautiful sea"

"Nets of silver and gold have we"

Said, Winkin' and Blinkin' 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

Well the little stars were the herring fish

That lived in the beautiful sea

"Now cast your nets wherever you wish"

"Never a feared are we"

So sang the stars to the fishermen three

Winkin' and Blinkin' 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 sight it seemed

As if it could not be

And some folks thought 'twas a dream they dreamed

Of sailing the beautiful sea

But I shall name you the fishermen three

Winkin' and Blinkin' and Nod

Now Winkin' and Blinkin' are two little eyes

And Nod is a little head

And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies

Is a wee one's trundle bed

So close your eyes while mother sings

Of the beautiful sights that be

And you will see the wonderful things

As you rock in your misty sea

Where the old moon rocked the fishermen three

Winkin' and Blinkin' and Nod
