Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Foggy Dew: 'Over the hills I went...'
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?
