The Doobie Brothers - Wynken, Blynken And Nod (LP Version) Lyrics

Wynken and Blynken and Nod
One night sailed off in a wooden shoe
Sailed in 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
We've come to fishin' for herring fish
That live in the beautiful sea

Nets of silver and gold have we said
Wynken and Blynken 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 afraid are we

So sang the stars to the fisherman three
Wynken and Blynken and Nod

All night long their nets they threw
To the stars and the twinkling foam
Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe
Bringing the fisherman home

'Twas all so pretty a sight
It seemed as if it could not be
And some folks thought it was a dream
They dreamed of sailing the beautiful sea

But I shall name you the fisherman three
Ynken, Blynken and Nod

Now Wynken and Blynken
Are two little eyes and Nod is a little head
And the wooden shoe that sailed the sky
Is a wee one's trundle bed

So close your eyes while mother sings
Of the beautiful sights that be
You will see a wonderful things
As you rock on the misty sea

Where the old moon rocks the fisherman three
Wynken and Blynken and Nod
Wynken and Blynken and Nod
