I am a bachelor, I live all alone
I work at the weaving trade
And the only thing I ever did wrong
Was to woo a fair young maid
I wooed her in the winter time
And in the summer too
And the only thing I ever did wrong
Was to keep her from the foggy dew
ย
One night she came to my bedside
When all were fast asleep
She leaned her head up against my bed
And she began to weep
She sighed, she cried, she nearly died
She said, "What shall I do?"
So I put her into bed and covered up her head
To keep her from the foggy dew
ย
Now I am a bachelor, I live with my son
We work at the weaving trade
And every time I look in his eyes
He reminds me of the fair young maid
He reminds me of the winter time
And of the summer too
And the many, many times I held her in my arms
To keep her from the foggy dew
