Donovan - Wynken Blynken And Nod

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 .
