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