All Around My Hat lyrics

All around my hat

I will wear the green willow

And all around my hat

For a twelve-month and a day

And if anyone should ask me

The reason why I'm wearing it

It's all for my true love

Who's far, far away

Fare thee well, cold winter

And fare thee well, cold frost

Nothing have I gained

But my own true love I've lost

I'll sing and I'll be merry

When occasion I do see

He's a false, deluding young man

Let him go, farewell he

The other night he brought me

A fine diamond ring

But the thought to have deprived me

Of a far better thing

But I being careful

Like lovers ought to be

He's a false, deluding young man

Let him go, farewell he

All around my hat

I will wear the green willow

And all around my hat

For a twelve-month and a day

And if anyone should ask me

The reason why I'm wearing it

It's all for my true love

Who's far, far away

All around my hat

I will wear the green willow

And all around my hat

For a twelve-month and a day

And if anyone should ask me

The reason why I'm wearing it

It's all for my true love

Who's far, far away

All around my hat

I will wear the green willow

And all around my hat

For a twelve-month and a day

And if anyone should ask me

The reason why I'm wearing it

It's all for my true love

Who's far, far away
