Foggy Dew (English song) "Foggy Dew" or "Foggy, Foggy Dew" is an English folk song. The song describes the outcome of an affair between a young weaver and a girl he courted for some time. She initially comes to his bed because she is afraid of the "foggy, foggy dew" but it seems she often returned. Early versions of the song refer to her fear of the "bugaboo" rather than the foggy dew. It is cataloged as Laws No. O03 and Roud Folk Song Index No. 558.
