The Foggy Dew lyrics

I courted her all of the winter

Part of the summer, too

All the harm that I have done

Was to court a pretty fair maid

One night she came to my bedside

As I lay fast asleep

“Come to my arms, my pretty miss

Get out of the foggy dew"

She layed in my arms till broad daylight

And the sun begin to shine

I turn my back on my own true love

"Goodbye, my love, I'm gone"

Towards the first part of the year

She took pale in the face

And along the latter part of the year

She grew bigger 'round the waist

Along towards the end of the year

She brought to me a son

“Oh, now you see as well as I

What the foggy dew has done"

I loved that girl with all my heart

I loved her as my life

Yet every time the baby cries

I'd think on the foggy dew
