Winken, Blinken & Nod Lyrics - The Cat Came Back - Fred Penner

Winken and Blinken and Nod one night 

Sailed off on a wooden shoe 

Sailed down a river of crystal light 

Into a sea of dew 

Now where are you going and what do you wish? 

The old moon asked the three 

Well we're going out fishing for Herring fish 

That live in the beautiful sea 

And some silver and gold have we 

Said, Winken and Blinken and Nod 

The old moon laughed and sang a song 

As they rocked in their wooden shoe 

And the wind that sped them all night long 

Ruffled the waves of dew 

While the little stars were the Herring fish 

That lived in the beautiful sea 

Now cast your nets wherever you wish 

Never a feared are we 

So sang the stars to the fishermen three 

Winken and Blinken 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 

Winken and Blinken and Nod 

Now 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 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 

Winken and Blinken and Nod
