Winkin'Blinkin'And Nod Songtext
von The Irish Rovers

Winken, Blinken 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
The old man asked the three
We′ve come to fish
For the herring fish
That swim in the beautiful sea
Nets of silver and gold have we
Said Winken, Blinken and Nod
The old man laughed and sang this sang
As they rocked in the wooden shoe
And the wind that sped them all night long
Ruffled the waves of dew
The nettles and the herring firsh
Lived in the beautiful sea
Cast your nets, wherever you wish
Never afeared are we


Do cried the stars to the fisherman three
Winken, blinken and nod
All night long
Their nets they threw
To the stars in the twinklin' foam
Then down from the sky
Came the wooden shoe
Bringing the fisherman home
′Twas oh so strange
A trip it seemed
As if it could not be
And some folks thought
'Twas a dream they'd dreamed
Of sailing the beautiful sea
But I shall name you
The fisherman three
Winken, Blinken and Nod
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
And I will sing
Of wonderful sights that be
You shall see
All the beautiful things
As you rock in that misty sea
Just like the fisherman three
Winken, Blinken and Nod
