Burl Ives - Foggy, Foggy Dew lyrics
[Burl Ives - Foggy, Foggy Dew lyrics]
I worked at the weaver's trade and the only
Only thing that I did that was wrong
Was to woo a fair young maid
I wooed her in the winter time
Part of the summer too and the only
Only thing that 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 tore her hair
Ah, me, what could I do?
So all night long, I held her in my arms
Just to keep her from the foggy, foggy dew
Again I am a bachelor, I live with my son
We work at the weaver's trade
And every single time that I
Look into his eyes
He reminds me of that fair young maid
He reminds me of the wintertime
Part of the summer too and of the many
Many times that I held her in my arms
Just to keep her from the foggy, foggy dew
