Wynken, Blynken & Nod-Sam Ellison (Original)

Wynken, Blynken, and Nod
Written by Samuel Ellison copyright 1985
Chorus
Wynken, Blynken and Nod sailed away in a little wooden shoe
My son I hope one day in time all your dreams come true
When the fairy tale and the nursery rhymes have all been left behind
Little son remember I love you and remember our good times


Remember walking down the road, picking up aluminum cans
My son we were so close then, we were our own biggest fans
The cans they weren't worth much to me but you seemed to have such fun
Then we'd ride away in a pickup truck facing a setting sun
Repeat chorus

Remember coming to your bedroom, to make sure you're all right
You were already sound asleep and I'd kiss you good night
Then I'd turn to walk out the room and I'd shudder to think that soon
(go into chorus and end with "Wynken, Blynken and Nod sailed away in a little wooden shoe

Sam could you post a video of the original song? My father use to sing this to me to put me to sleep...he is no longer around to sing it for me. Your voice is the closest I have found to him. Thank you

[Madmelodist]

I'd be honored to that for you. Give me about a week maybe a couple days more. I will need to run thru that one a few times to get the feel of it.

Thanx,

Sam
