[Opening]
[F]When I was a bachelor I [Bb]lived all a[G]lone
I [C]worked at the weaver’s [F]trade
And the only only thing I did [Bb]that was [G]wrong
Was to [C7]woo a fair young [F]maid

[section 2]
I [C7]wooed her in [F]the winter time
[C7]Part of the [F]summer too
And the only only thing I did [Bb]that was [G7]wrong
Was to [C7]keep her from the foggy foggy [F]dew

[section 3]
One night she knelt [Bb]close by my [G7]side
When [C7]I was fast a[F]sleep
She threw her arms a[Bb]round my [G]neck
And [C7]then began to [F]weep

[section 4]
She [C7]wept she cried she [F]tore her hair
[C7]Ah me what could I [F]do
So all night long I held [Bb]her in my [G7]arms
Just to [C7]keep her from the foggy foggy [F]dew

[section 5]
Again I am a bachelor and I [Bb]live with my [G7]son
[C7]We work at the weaver’s [F]trade
And every single time that I [Bb]look into his [G7]eyes
He re[C7]minds me of the fair young [F]maid

[Closing]
He re[C7]minds me of the [F]winter time
[C7]Part of the summer [F]too
And the many times I [Bb]held her in my [G7]arms
Just to [C7]keep her from the foggy foggy [F]dew [Bb] [Bbm] [F]
