Foggy Foggy Dew

Intro: verse 1: When I was a bachelor, I lived all alone I worked at the weaver's trade And all the harm that ever I've done It was courting a serving maid verse 2: I courted her one winter's morn A summer's day or two And I often times wished her into my arms Out of the foggy dew, dew, dew And out of the foggy dew verse 3: One night she came to my bedside As I lay fast asleep She laid her head upon my bed And bitterly she did weep verse 4: She wept, she cried, she tore her hair Saying, "Oh, what shall I do? For this night I'm resolved to sleep with you For fear of the foggy dew, dew, dew For fear of the foggy dew" VERSE 5: So all the fore part of the night How we did sport and play All the latter part of the night She close in my arms did lay VERSE 6: And when the daylight did appear She said, "I am undone" Said I, "Fair mad, be not afraid For the foggy dew is done, done, done Oh, the foggy dew is done VERSE 7: One night she started to moan and to cry Said I, "What troubles you?" She said, "I'd never have been this way If it hadn't have been for you" VERSE 8: I got me boots and me trousers on I called my neighbour too Ah, but do what we could, we could do her no good And she died in the foggy dew, dew, dew Oh, she died in the foggy dew VERSE 9: So, now I am a bachelor, I live with my son We work at the weaver's trade And when I look in his face I can see The eyes of that fair young maid verse 10: He reminds me of the winter time And of the summer too And the many, many times she lay in my arms For fear of the foggy dew, dew, dew All for fear of the foggy dew
