Foggy Foggy Dew

[INTRO:] C   F  C

[VERSE 1:]
             G           C          G
When I was a bachelor, I lived all alone
  C             F        C
I worked at the weaver's trade
            G         C         G
And all the harm that ever I've done
       C          F       C
It was courting a serving maid


[VERSE 2:]
                  F        C
I courted her one winter's morn
                  G
A summer's day or two
      C           G          C       G
And I often times wished her into my arms
C          F     C    G    C     G
Out of the foggy dew, dew, dew
    C          F     C
And out of the foggy dew


[VERSE 3:]
              G       C     G
One night she came to my bedside
C        F     C
As I lay fast asleep
             G     C      G
She laid her head upon my bed
    C        F       C
And bitterly she did weep


[VERSE 4:]
                         F        C
She wept, she cried, she tore her hair
                          G
Saying, "Oh, what shall I do?
         C           G         C          G
For this night I'm resolved to sleep with you
    C           F     C    G    C     G
For fear of the foggy dew, dew, dew
    C           F     C
For fear of the foggy dew"


[VERSE 5:]
           G         C      G
So all the fore part of the night
C          F         C
How we did sport and play
        G           C      G
All the latter part of the night
    C           F        C
She close in my arms did lay


[VERSE 6:]
                      F     C
And when the daylight did appear
                  G
She said, "I am undone"
     C        G    C       G
Said I, "Fair mad, be not afraid
        C     F      C     G     C     G
For the foggy dew is done, done, done
        C     F      C        F  C
Oh, the foggy dew is done


[VERSE 7:]
              G          C           G
One night she started to moan and to cry
     C        F        C
Said I, "What troubles you?"
               G          C         G
She said, "I'd never have been this way
      C           F        C
If it hadn't have been for you"


[VERSE 8:]
                      F        C
I got me boots and me trousers on
                      G
I called my neighbour too
        C          G               C         G
Ah, but do what we could, we could do her no good
        C           F     C    G    C     G
And she died in the foggy dew, dew, dew
        C           F     C
Oh, she died in the foggy dew


[VERSE 9:]
               G           C            G
So, now I am a bachelor, I live with my son
   C           F        C
We work at the weaver's trade
           G           C          G
And when I look in his face I can see
    C            F          C
The eyes of that fair young maid


[VERSE 10:]
                     F      C
He reminds me of the winter time
                  G
And of the summer too
        C          G         C         G
And the many, many times she lay in my arms
    C           F     C    G    C     G
For fear of the foggy dew, dew, dew
        C           F     C
All for fear of the foggy dew
