Foggy Dew

When I was young and in my prime

I carried on the weaving trade

And all the harm that ever I done

Was courting a fair pretty maid

I courted her a long summers day

And part of the winter too

Till I thought to my [ ? ] to roll her in my arms

Think no more on the foggy foggy dew.

Last night as I lay on my bed

I dreamed of a sweet pretty maid

Last night as I lay on my bed

She came to my bedside

She weeped, she wailed, she wrung her hands

Crying O what shall I do?

Jump into bed my fair pretty maid

For fear of he foggy foggy dew

For when you have our child my dear

It will cause you for to smile

And when you have another my dear

It'll cause you to tarry awhile

298

And when you have another my dear

xxx Another and another and two

You must leave off your roguish tricks

And think no more on the foggy dew.

I never once told her of her faults

Nor its never my intention so to do

And every time she smiled in my face

Makes me think on the foggy dew.

John Voke at Castle of Comfort April 15th 1904
