DOOBIE BROTHERS - Wynken, Blynken And Nod lyrics

rate me

Wynken and Blynken and Nod one night<br />

Sailed off in a wooden shoe<br />

Sailed in a river of<br />

Crystal light into a sea of dew<br />

<br />

Now where are you going<br />

And what do you (A)wish<br />

The old moon asked of the three<br />

Well, we're going out fishing<br />

For herring fish that live in the<br />

Beautiful sea<br />

<br />

Nets of Silver and<br />

Gold have we said<br />

Wynken and Blynken and Nod<br />

<br />

The old moon laughed andsang<br />

A song<br />

As they rocked in their wooden<br />

Shoe<br />

And the wind that sped them all<br />

Night long ruffled the waves of dew<br />

<br />

Well the little stars were the<br />

Herring fish that lived<br />

In the beautiful sea<br />

Now cast your nets wherever<br />

You wish never afeared are we<br />

So sang the stars to the<br />

Fisherman three:<br />

Wynken and Blynken and Nod<br />

<br />

All night long their nets they<br />

Threw to the stars and<br />

The twinkling foam<br />

Then down from the skies came<br />

The wooden shoe bringing<br />

The fisherman home<br />

<br />

Twas all so pretty a sight<br />

It seemed as if it could not be<br />

And some folks thought it was<br />

A dream they dreamed<br />

Of sailingthe beautiful sea<br />

But I shall name you the<br />

Fisherman three:<br />

Wynken, Blynken and Nod<br />

<br />

Now Wynken and Blynken are<br />

Two little eyes and Nod is a<br />

Little head<br />

And the wooden shoe that<br />

Sailed the sky is a wee one's<br />

Trundle bed<br />

So close your eyes while<br />

Mother sings of the beautiful<br />

Sights that be<br />

And you will see wonderful<br />

Things as you rock on the misty sea<br />

Where the old moon rocks<br />

The fisherman three<br />

Wynken and Blynken and Nod
