CAnd many's the time I rGolled my loAmve

Fall over the foggy dCew Gdew dAmew.

Fall over the foggy dCew

One night as I lay in my bed, taking my pleasent sleep.

This pretty young maid she came to me, and bitterly she did weap.

She tore her hair,and she wrung her hands.Saying, oh what shall I do.

For tonight I resolve to sleep with you,

For fear of the foggy dew, dew, dew.

For fear of the foggy dew.

All in the first part of that night we rolled and sport and play.

All in the latter part of that night she in my arms did lay

And when the daylight did appear She cried, I am undone

Aw hold your tongue you silly young girl

For the foggy dew is gone, gone, gone

For the foggy dew is gone

Supposing you should have a child It would make you laugh and smile

And suppose you have another one It would make you think a while

And suppose you have another one, And another one or two

It would make you leave off them foolish young tricks,

and think on the foggy dew, dew, dew

and think on the foggy dew

I love that girl with all my heart she's as dear as my lovely life

But in the latter part of that year She became another mans wife

But, i'd never told him of her faults and I'm damned if e'er I'll do

And many is the time she winks and smiles

I think on the foggy dew, dew, dew

I think on the foggy dew
