Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Foggy Dew: 'Over the hills I went...'
Subject: Over the Hills - Foggy Dew
I had 3 verses of a song to the same tune as the Irish song 'The Foggy Dew'- As down the glen one Easter morn etc.
Over the Hills I went one day and a fair, pretty maid I spied With her long black hair and her mantle so green ..... I said fair maid will you marry me She lifted up her eyes of blue, She said smiled and she said young man I'm to wed and I'll meet him in the foggy dew
I think 2 verses came from a book called Folk songs and new songs, possibly edited by Alisdair Clare.
Anybody know the song and have more complete verses?
