Donovan - Wynken, Blynken And Nod Lyrics
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?"
"We have come to fish for the herring fish
That live in this beutiful sea
Nets of silver and gold have we"
Said Wynken, Blynken and Nod
The old Moon laughed and he 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
"Now cast your nets wherever you wish
For never afeared are we"
So cried the stars to the fishermen three
Wynken, Blynken and Nod
All night long their nets they threw
For the fish in the twinkling foam
Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe
Bringing the fishermen home
'Twas all so pretty a sail it seemed
As if it could not be
And some folks thought 'twas a dream they dreamed
Of sailing that beautiful sea
But I shall name you the fishermen three
Wynken, Blynken and Nod
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
Now close your eyes while mother sings
Of wonderful sights that be
And you shall see the beautiful things
As you rock in the misty sea
As the old Moon rocked the fishermen three
Wynken, Blynken and Nod

Someone tab this thing out!
A rare gem I hadn't heard before.
the lyrics at 50 secs gave me a beautiful vision of millions of stars above mirrored by millions of herring below while sailing a flat calm ocean
Yes! A flat ocean under a rotating crystalline firmament!

Great poem and Donovan did a great job putting it to music. This is the only version I have heard that I like. Just perfection.
I still have this book from when I was a baby. My mom had this record and I would listen to it as a little girl. Wonderful memories :-)
My boys have this book, Wynken Blynken and Nod, and they love it. I enjoy reading it to them as much as they love it. Hearing one of my musical favorites, Donovan, sing this book is so cool. Gonna learn the tune and sing it to my boys at bedtime whenever they ask for this book :)
