lyrics

As I roved out one morning, at the dawning of the day,
I met a pretty maid, traipsing along my way,
Like a fox caught in the headlights, I looked with surprise,
My mind being bent on rambling, away I did fly

I said no nay never, no never again,
I've traveled many miles, from glen to glen,
There's some that you fuss over, and some that you forgo,
I fell right for a raggle taggle gypsyo,

Her eyes they shone like diamonds, she's the queen of this town,
Like an angel I have lost my wings, fallen to the ground,
There was whiskey in the jar, and the maid behind the bar, it was the parting glass,
Her eyes they shone like diamonds, she's the queen of this town,
Like an angel I have lost my wings, fallen to the ground,
There was whiskey in the jar, and the maid behind the bar gave the parting glass,
That went just a little too far

Now through the Foggy Dew, I search for you, as I rove around, the streets of this Dirty old Town.
