All Around My Hat Lyrics

(Traditional)
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
Faretheewell cold winter, and faretheewell 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
She's a false deluded young girl, let her go, farewell she
And 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

The other night she brought me a fine diamond ring
But she thought to have deprived me of a far better thing
But I being careful like lovers ought to be
She's a false deluded young girl, let her go, farewell she

And 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
