The lyrics to this were actually a children's book my mom would read to me as a child

I think this song represents , christ and the holy mother , and the song as resurfaced throughout folklore as a reminder of christ as a baby and the love that was and is.

i remember hearing as a child the bust stop biscuit barrel and this reffered also to winkin blinkin and nod , it is a hidden message from god and just as apt today as then.

@petebro69 "Wynken, Blynken, and Nod" is a popular poem for children written by American writer and poet Eugene Field and published on March 9, 1889. The original title was Dutch Lullaby.

The poem is a fantasy bed-time story of three fishermen sailing and fishing in the stars. Their boat is a wooden shoe. The fishermen symbolize a sleepy child's blinking eyes and nodding head. It has NOTHING to do with ANY religion, what so ever!

this is just amazing! :) i remember many many years ago i watched Donahue and Carly sang with her sister this song WOW!

I have an album from the '60's called The Simon Sisters containing this song and many other wonderful ones. their harmony is incredible. When i bought it back then, Carly Simon had not yet become a solo star.

Wonderful bedtime song

I think this is the one my mum always sang to me - she probably heard it when it was new - although hers sounded a little different. Naturally, hers will always be the #1 version for me. I loved reading the poem when I was little.

Some of the sweetest harmony since the Everlys - I wonder if Carly ever sang this to Ben and Sally,,,,

[swampzoid]

Didn't they also do a song called "Cuddlebug" ?

[liz81251]

yes. check out the book "Girls Like Us" by Sheila Weller.

The Simon Sisters appeared on UK TV maybe 1965(?) singing a wonderful version of the anti-war song "Johnny I Hardly Knew You". I've been hoping to see again it ever since, but I was told that the original tapes were almost certainly thrown away because of shortage of storage space (as was the standard practice by television companies in those days).

Yeah this is my favorite fable from childhood too, it's so pretty.
