The Foggy Dew

from Blood for Ghosts by Duke Special

/

lyrics

A-down the hill I went one morn,
A lovely maid I spied,
Her hair was bright as the dew that wets
Sweet Anner’s verdant side;
“And where go ye, sweet maid?” said I,
She raised her eyes of blue,
And smiled and said, “The boy I wed
I’m to meet in the foggy dew.”
Go hide your blooms, ye roses red,
And droop, ye lilies rare,
Or you must pale for very shame
Before a maid so fair
Said I, “Dear maid, will you be my bride?”
Beneath her eyes of blue
She smiled and said, “The boy I wed
I’m to meet in the foggy dew.”
A-down the hill I went at morn,
A-singing I did go,
A-down the hill I went at morn,
She answered soft and low:
“Yes, I will be your own dear bride,
And I know that you’ll be true!”
Then sighed in my arms, and all her charms
Were hid in the foggy dew
