Foggy Dew Songtext
von Pete Seeger

I once was a bachelor, I lived all alone
I worked by the weaver′s trade
The only, only thing I did that was wrong
Was to woo a fair young maid
I wooed her in the summertime
Part of the winter too
And the only, only thing I ever did that was wrong
Was to keep her from the foggy, foggy dew


It was all lately in the night
When I was fast asleep
She came and knelt close by my bed
And then began to weep
She wept, she cried, she tore her hair
Ah me, what could I do?
So all night long I held her in my arms
Just to keep her from the foggy, foggy dew

Now I am a bachelor, I live with my son
We work at the weaver's trade
And every, every time I look into his eyes
It reminds me of the fair young maid
It reminds me of the summertime
Part of the winter too
And the many, many times I held her in my arms
Just to keep her from the foggy, foggy dew
