"The Foggy Dew", also known as "The Foggy, Foggy Dew" is widely known in England, Ireland and America. The European versions are sometimes bawdy while the American versions tend to be more euphemistic. There are two versions included here: an English version. and an American version (this one). There are many melodies that are available. These are my personal choices. There is also a song called "The Foggy Dew" and with lyrics about the Irish Easter Rising of 1916 which is set to the tune of "The Maid on the Mourne Shore". Harry Cox sang "The Foggy Dew" in a recording made by Peter Kennedy in Catfield, Norfolk in October 1953. It was recorded by A.L. Lloyd sang it in 1956 on English Drinking Songs and on The Foggy Dew and Other Traditional English Love Songs, Hedy West on Ballads, John Roberts and Tony Barrand on Dark Ships in the Forest (1977) and Burl Ives. It appears on the anthology (1961). The Digital Tradition website contains five versions. It is #558 in the Roud Folk Song Index. It was printed in Sandburg's American Songbag (1927), Randolph's Ozark Folk Songs (1946), Cecil Sharp's English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians, Volume II (1932), Reeves' The Idiom of the People (1958), Lomax's Folk Songs of North America (1960) (2 versions). Lomax claims to have collected the English version from Harry Cox and that the tune is a variant of "Bonny Doone". I have been unable to verify this.
