A down the hill I went one morn,
A lovely maid I spied.
Her hair was bright as the dew that wets
Sweet Anner's verdant side.
"And where go ye, sweet maid?" said I.
She raised her eyes of blue,
And smiled and said "The boy I wed
I'm to meet in the foggy dew."

Go hide your blooms ye roses red
And droop ye lilies rare.
For you must pale for very shame,
Before a maid so fair.
Said I, "Dear maid, will you be my bride?"
She raised her eyes of blue,
And smiled and said, "The boy I wed
I'm to meet in the foggy dew."

A-down the hill I went one morn,
A-singing I did go.
A-down the hill I went one morn,
She answer'd sweet and low.
"Yes I will be your own dear bride,
And I know that you'll be true."
Then sighed in my arms and all her charms
Were hidden in the foggy dew.

Notes from Lady Zenovia:
The Foggy Dew 20th century (E. Milligan and Charlotte Milligan Fox; arrangement Clay) [just found this out, I'm a bit surprised!] 
recorded 1913, written no earlier than 1903 
available on: CD John McCormack, My Wild Irish Rose 

This seems to be the definitive (only?) recording of this song as originally written. I take the
McCormack lyrics to be correct then, even though alternate versions are available.
