Marty Robbins - The Foggy Foggy Dew lyrics

rate me

When I was a bachelor I lived all alone<br />

I worked at the weaver's trade<br />

And the only, only thing I did that was wrong<br />

Was to woo a fair young maid<br />

<br />

I wooed her in the winter time some of the summer too<br />

And the only, only thing I did that was wrong<br />

Was to keep her from the foggy, foggy dew<br />

<br />

One night she knelt down by my side<br />

When I was fast asleep<br />

She threw her arms around my neck<br />

And then began to weep<br />

<br />

She wept, she cried, she tore her hair<br />

Ah me, what could I do<br />

So all night long I held her in my arms<br />

To keep her from the foggy, foggy dew<br />

<br />

Again I am a bachelor and I live with my son<br />

We work at the weaver's trade<br />

And every single time that I look into his eyes<br />

He reminds me of the fair young maid<br />

<br />

He reminds me of the winter time<br />

Part of the summer too<br />

And the many, many times I held her in my arms<br />

To keep her from the foggy, foggy dew
