All around my hat I wear a green willow,
All around my hat for a twelve-month and a day;
And if anyone should ask me
the reason why I'm wearin' it,
It's all for my true love who's far, far away.
Fare thee well cold winter
and fare thee well cold frost,
Nothin' 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 deluded young man,
let him go, farewell he.
The other night he brought me
a fine diamond ring,
Oh, he's going to have to bribe me
with a far better thing;
But I being careful like lovers ought to be,
He's a false deluded young man,
let him go, farewell he.
All around my hat I wear a green willow,
All around my hat for a twelve-month and a day;
And if anyone should ask me
the reason why I'm wearin' it,
It's all for my true love who's far, far away.
Quarter pound of reason
and a half a pound of sense,
A small sprig of time and as much of prudence;
You mix them all together and you will plainly see,
He's a false deluded young man,
let him go, farewell he.
All around my hat I wear a green willow,
All around my hat for a twelve-month and a day;
And if anyone should ask me
the reason why I'm wearin' it,
It's all for my true love who's far, far away.
All around my hat I wear a green willow,
All around my hat for a twelve-month and a day;
And if anyone should ask me
the reason why I'm wearin' it,
It's all for my true love who's far, far away.
And all around my hat I wear a green willow,
All around my hat for a twelve-month and a day;
And if anyone should ask me
the reason why I'm wearin' it,
It's all for my true love who's far, far away.
