DmWynken, Blynken, and GNod one night, sailed Amoff in a wooden Gshoe,
They Csailed down a river of Amcrystal light Dminto a sea of Gdew.
"Now Dmwhere are you going and Gwhat do you wish?" the Amold moon asked the Gthree.
"We're Cgoing out fishing for the Amherring fish that Dmlive in the beautiful Gsea,
And such Fsilver and Ggold have we," said DmWynken, Blynken, and GNod.
So the Dmold moon laughed and Gsang a song as they Amrocked in their wooden Gshoe,
And the Cbreeze that sped them Amall night long Dmruffled the waves of Gdew.
Now the Dmstars in the sky were the Gherring fish that Amlive in the beautiful Gsea
Come Ccast your nets wherAmever you wish, Dmnever a-feared are Gwe.
So Fsang the stars to the Gfishermen three, DmWynken, Blynken, and GNod.
So Dmall night long their Gnets they threw to the Amstars in the twinklin' Gfoam
Then Cdown from the sky came the Amwooden shoe a-Dmbringin' the fishermen Ghome.
'Twas Dmall so beautiful a Gsight it seemed as Amif it could not Gbe.
And Csome folks thought it was a Amdream they dreamed while Dmsailin' the beautiful Gsea
But FI shall name you the Gfishermen three, DmWynken, Blynken, and GNod.
Now DmWynken and Blynken are Gtwo little eyes and AmNod is a little Ghead.
And the Cbreeze that sped them Amall night long is a Dmwee one's trundle Gbed.
So Dmclose your eyes as Gmother sings of the Ambeautiful sights that Gbe,
And Cyou shall see such Amwondrous things as you Dmrock in your misty Gsea.
So Fsang the stars to the Gfishermen three, DmWynken, Blynken, and GNod.

Dm G Am G

Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night, sailed off in a wooden shoe,

C Am Dm G

They sailed down a river of crystal light into a sea of dew.

Dm G Am G

"Now where are you going and what do you wish?" the old moon asked the three.

C Am Dm G

"We're going out fishing for the herring fish that live in the beautiful sea,

F G Dm G

And such silver and gold have we," said Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.

Dm G Am G

So the old moon laughed and sang a song as they rocked in their wooden shoe,

C Am Dm G

And the breeze that sped them all night long ruffled the waves of dew.

Dm G Am G

Now the stars in the sky were the herring fish that live in the beautiful sea

C Am Dm G

Come cast your nets wherever you wish, never a-feared are we.

F G Dm G

So sang the stars to the fishermen three, Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.

Dm G Am G

So all night long their nets they threw to the stars in the twinklin' foam

C Am Dm G

Then down from the sky came the wooden shoe a-bringin' the fishermen home.

Dm G Am G

'Twas all so beautiful a sight it seemed as if it could not be.

C Am Dm G

And some folks thought it was a dream they dreamed while sailin' the beautiful sea

F G Dm G

But I shall name you the fishermen three, Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.

Dm G Am G

Now Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes and Nod is a little head.

C Am Dm G

And the breeze that sped them all night long is a wee one's trundle bed.

Dm G Am G

So close your eyes as mother sings of the beautiful sights that be,

C Am Dm G

And you shall see such wondrous things as you rock in your misty sea.

F G Dm G

So sang the stars to the fishermen three, Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.
