[Verse 1]
Wynken, Blynken and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe
Sailed on a river of crystal light
Into a sea of dew
"Where are you going and what do you wish?"
The old moon asked the three
"We've come to fish for the herring fish
That live in this beautiful sea
Nets of silver and gold have we"
Said Wynken, Blynken and Nod

[Verse 2]
The old moon laughed and sang a song
As they rocked in the wooden shoe
And the wind that sped them all night long
Ruffled the waves of dew
The little stars were the herring fish
That lived in the beautiful sea
"Cast your nets wherever you wish
Never afeared are we"
So cried the stars to the fishermen three
Wynken, Blynken and Nod

[Verse 3]
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 strange a trip it seemed
As if it could not be
Some folk thought 'twas a dream they'd dreamed
Of sailing that beautiful sea
But I shall name you the fishermen three
Wynken, Blynken and Nod
[Verse 4]
Wynken and Blynken 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 and I will sing
Of wonderful sights that be
You shall see the beautiful things
As you rock on the misty sea
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three
Wynken, Blynken and Nod
