Day 287 of the American Songbag Stay-at-Home Series

Sandburg writes: "A variant of Foggy Foggy Dew, or I Am A Bachelor, a song that stands against time and weather tells a short-spoken story and ends with no more to say." 

Sandburg has "The Foggy, Foggy Dew" earlier in his American Songbag, page 14. The tune is just a tad different, and the lyrics reflect the same content. It puzzles me as to why he has put it in here again, especially when there were so many songs he collected and did not print.

Something for further study.
