"Dabbling in the Dew", also known as "Rolling in the Dew", "Where Are You Going, My Pretty Maid?", "Kind Hearted Nancy", "Roving in the Dew" or "The Milkmaid's Song" is an English song. The theme of this song dates back to the 14th century and in some versions, it is ‘strawberry leaves’, not ‘dabbling in the dew’, that ‘makes the milkmaids fair’. In the 19th century it became popular all over Southern England and was published in J.O. Halliwell's Nursery Rhymes of England (1842). George Butterworth found it in Sussex, Ralph Vaughan Williams noted it down in Cambridgeshire and Herefordshire and Cecil Sharp discovered it to be particularly popular in the West Country: between 1904 and 1907 he noted it down from nine singers in Somerset alone. In Inglesham, Wiltshire the song was also used as a finale to the Christmas Mumming play. It was recorded by Shirley Collins on Folksong Today (1955), Bob Copper on Songs and Southern Breezes (1977), Jeannie Robertson on Lord Donald (1960) (as "Rollin' in the Dew"), John Kirkpatrick and Sue Harris on The Rose of Britain's Isle (1974). It is included in the Roud Folk Song Index as #298. It was printed in Sharp's One Hundred English Folksongs (1916).
