"Morning Dew", also known as "(Walk Me Out in the) Morning Dew", is a contemporary folk song by Canadian singer-songwriter Bonnie Dobson. The lyrics relate a fictional conversation in a post-nuclear holocaust world. Originally recorded as a solo performance, Dobson's vocal is accompanied by her finger-picked acoustic guitar playing.
In 1962, "Morning Dew" was included on the album Bonnie Dobson at Folk City. Subsequently, the song was recorded by other contemporary folk and rock musicians, including the Grateful Dead, who adapted it using an electric rock-ensemble arrangement for their debut album. Tim Rose recorded a version in 1967, and he claimed lyrics-writing credits with no evidence to support his claim; legal action in 1998 resulted in full credit returning to Dobson.[1]
