Subject: RE: Over the Hills - Foggy Dew
This does have the feel of a complete, consistant, composed song which is not surprising because that's what it is.

No complaints, but it isn't eaxctly the same as the one in Folk Songs and New Songs that I foolishly lent to a friend. I don't think the 3rd verse that I found in Ceil Sharpe House was the same either. Could this be the oral tradition or opportunistic editing by some 1960's folkie?

Anyway very much for the thanks for the song.
