The Foggy Dew

I have always heard this tune played as a march.
Marches were/are an essential part of the repertoire of ceili bands.

wounded hussar - that's another Foggy Dew. In fact, that's the tune I've heard the Foggy Dew sung to.

I've heard Falkbeer's tune as a song air before, but with different words.

Foggy Dew March

I have to agree ith Wounded Hussar that his link leads to the tune most musicians recognise as The Foggy Dew. It's also the one so pasionately sung by the late Luke Kelly of the Dubliners.

This is a slow air, the title tune of Eugene O'Donnell's The Foggy Dew, on Green Linnet in 1988.
