Artist/Band: The Dubliners
Lyrics for Song: Foggy Dew
Lyrics for Album: Parcel Of Rogues [1995]



When I was a bachelor, airy and young

I followed the roving trade

And the only harm that ever I've done

Was courting a servant maid

I courted her all Summer long

And part of the Winter too

But many's the time I roved my love

All over the foggy dew, dew, dew

All over the foggy dew.



One night as I lay in my bed

A taking a pleasant sleep

This pretty young maid she came to me

And bitterly she did weep

She tore her hair and she wrung her hands

Saying: "Oh, what shall I do?

For tonight I resolved to sleep with you

For fear of the foggy dew, dew, dew

All over the foggy dew."



All in the first part of that night

We rolled in sport and play

And in the latter part of that night

She in my arms did lay

And when broad daylight did appear

She cried: "I am undone"

"Oh, hold your tongue, you silly young girl

For the foggy dew is gone, gone, gone

For the foggy dew is gone."



"Supposing you should have a child

It would make you laugh and smile

And suppose you had another one

It would make you think a while

And suppose you have another one

And another one or two

It would make you leave off those foolish young tricks

And think on the foggy dew, dew, dew

All over the foggy dew."



I loved that girl with all my heart

She's as dear as my lovely life

But in the latter part of the year

She became another man's wife

But I never told him of her faults

And I'm damned if ever I'll do

But many's the time as she winks and smiles

I think on the foggy dew, dew, dew

All over the foggy dew.
