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