Irish Song Lyrics - Foggy Foggy Dew (the)

Now I am a bachelor I live all alone
I work at the weaver's trade
and the only only thing that I ever did wrong
was to woo a fair maid
I wooed her in the summertime and most of the winter too
and the only only thing that I ever did wrong
was to save her from the Foggy Foggy Dew

One night she crept into my bed
when I lay fast asleep
she threw her arms around my neck
and then began to weep
she sighed, she cried, she damn near died
and what was I to do?
just to save her from the Foggy Foggy Dew

Now I am a bachelor I live with my son
and we work at the weaver's trade
and every every time that I look into his eyes
he reminds me of that fair young maid
he reminds me of that summertime
and most of the winter too
and the many many times that I held her in my arms
just to save her from the Foggy Foggy Dew
