Dear itchjunior,
Although the last words of the first stanza are slightly different, I
am certain that these are the traditional Irish lyrics you are looking
for:
- The Foggy Dew -
Over the hills I went one day,
A lovely maid I spied
With her coal black hair and her mantle so green.
An image to perceive.
Says I, "Dear girl, will you be my bride
And she lifted her eyes of blue
She smiled and said, "Young man I'm to wed
I'm to meet in the foggy dew."
Over the hills I went one morn,
A-singing I did go.
Met this lovely maid with her coal-black hair,
And she answered soft and low:
Said she, "Young man, I'll be your bride,
If I know that you'll be true."
Oh, in my arms, all of her charms
Were casted in the foggy dew.
Hope this is what you had in mind!
Regards,
Scriptor
