Foggy Foggy Dew from Honey in the Lion's Head Submitted by Mike Stiles Traditional Performed by Burl Ives and now Greg I've read this song may be from the late 1700's Drop D tuning d a d g b e ----------------- G 5 5 x x x x F# 4 x x x x x E 3 3 x x x x D G F# E When I was a bachelor, I lived all alone A D I worked at the weaver's trade. G F# E And the only, only thing I ever did that was wrong A D Was to woo that fair young maid. A D A D I wooed her in the wintertime, part of the summer too G F# E And the only, only thing I ever did that was wrong A D Was to keep her from the foggy foggy dew. One night she came, to my bedside When I was fast asleep. She threw her arms around my neck And then she began to weep She wept she cried, she tore her hair Oh what could I do? So all night long, I held her in my arms Just to keep her from the foggy foggy dew Again I am a bachelor, I live with my son We work at the weaver's trade And every every time, I look into his eyes He reminds me of that fair young maid He reminds me of the wintertime, part of the summer too And of the many many times, I held her in my arms Just to keep her from the foggy foggy dew.
