Burl Ives - Foggy, Foggy Dew Lyrics

When I was a bachelor I lived all aloneI worked at the weaver's tradeAnd the only, only thing that I did that was wrongWas to woo a fair young maidI wooed her in the winter timePart of the summer tooAnd the only, only thing that I did that was wrongWas to keep her from the foggy, foggy dewOne night she knelt close by my sideWhen I was fast asleepShe threw her arms around my neckAnd then began to weepShe wept, she cried, she tore her hairAh, me, what could I do?So all night long, I held her in my armsJust to keep her from the foggy, foggy dewAgain I am a bachelor, I live with my sonWe work at the weaver's tradeAnd every single time that I look into his eyesHe reminds me of that fair young maidHe reminds me of the wintertimePart of the summer tooAnd of the many, many times that I held her in my armsJust to keep her from the foggy, foggy dew
