winken, blinken and nod
Winken and Blinken and Nod one night Sailed off on a wooden shoe Sailed down 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 Well we're going out fishing for Herring fish That live in the beautiful sea  And some silver and gold have we Said, Winken and Blinken 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  While the little stars were the Herring fish That lived in the beautiful sea Now cast your nets wherever you wish Never a feared are we  So sang the stars to the fishermen three Winken and Blinken and Nod  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  T'was all so pretty a sight it seemed As if it could not be And some folks thought t'was a dream They dreamed of sailing the beautiful sea  But I shall name you the fishermen three Winken and Blinken and Nod  Now Winken and Blinken 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 while mother sings Of the beautiful sights that be And you will see the wonderful things As you rock in your misty sea  Where the old moon rocked the fishermen three Winken and Blinken and Nod
