Subject: ADD Version: The Foggy Foggy Dew (bachelor)
Here's a version I heard sung by a guy named Mike Sands. Anybody know where it might be fropm?
FOGGY, FOGGY DEW
When I was a bachelor, I lived all alone I worked at the weaver’s trade And the only only thing I did that was wrong Was to woo a fair young maid I wooed her in the wintertime, and in the summer too And the only only thing I did that was wrong Was to keep her from the foggy foggy dew
One night she knelt close by my side When I was fast asleep She threw her arms around my neck And then began to weep She wept, she cried, she damn near died Ah me what I could do So jump into my bed my pretty girl I said And I’ll keep you from the foggy foggy dew
In the beginning of the year She grew paler in the face And by the end of the year She grew bigger in the waist I never threw it up to her Oh no, that I would never do But every single time I heard that baby cry I cursed the foggy foggy dew
Now again I’m a bachelor I live with my son We work at the weaver’s trade And every time I look into his eyes He reminds me of that fair young maid He reminds me of the winter, and the summer too And of the many times I had her in my bed Just to keep her from the foggy foggy dew.
