[Verse]
F             F7        Bb             G7
When I was a bachelor I lived all alone
C7                       F
I worked at the weaver's trade
F                   F7            Bb           G7
And the only, only thing that I did that was wrong
      C7                F
Was to woo a fair young maid


[Chorus]
C7                F
I wooed her in the winter time
C7             F
Part of the summer too
F                   F7             Bb        G7
And the only, only thing that I did that was wrong
        C7                            F
Was to keep her from the foggy, foggy dew


[Verse]
 F                  Bb           G7
One night she knelt close by my side
C7                F
When I was fast asleep
F              F7    Bb        G7
She threw her arms around my neck
 C7                F
And then began to weep


[Chorus]
C7                     F
She wept, she cried, she tore her hair
C7                    F
Ah, me, what could I do?
 F              F7       Bb          G7
So all night long, I held her in my arms
 C7                                   F
Just to keep her from the foggy, foggy dew


[Chorus]
 F             F7       Bb             G7
Again I am a bachelor, I live with my son
C7                        C
We work at the weaver's trade
 F                   F7      Bb             G7
And every single time that I look into his eyes
 C7                               F
He reminds me of that fair young maid


[Verse]
C7                       F
He reminds me of the wintertime
C7                  F
Part of the summer too
F                       F7         Bb              G7
And of the many, many times that I held her in my arms
         C7                             F     Bb  Bbm  F
Just to keep her from the foggy, foggy dew
