Winkin, Blinkin and Nod-Irish Rovers
FWinkin` and Blinkin` and GNod one night
Sailed off on a wooden Fshoe
SaFiled down a river of crystal Glight
Into a sea of Fdew
FNow where are you going and what do you Gwish
The old moon asked the Fthree
FWell we`re going out fishing for Herring Gfish
That live in the beautiful Fsea
And some Fsilver and Ggold have we
Said WinGkin` and Blinkin` and FNod
The oldF moon laughed and sang a Gsong
As they rocked in their wooden Fshoe
FAnd the wind that sped them aGll night long
FRuffled the waves of Fdew
While the little stars were the Herring fish
That lived in the beautiful sea
Now cast your nets where ever you wish
Never afeared are we
So sang the stars to the fishermen three
Winkin` and Blinkin` 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
Winkin` and Blinkin` and Nod
Now Winkin` and Blinkin` are two little eyes
And Nod is a little head
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
Is a wee ones 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
Winkin` and Blinkin` and Nod
