• All Around My Hat

My love she was fair, and my love she was handsome
And cruel were the judges who sentenced her away
For thieving was a thing that she never was inclined to
They sent my love across the sea ten thousand miles away.

All around my hat, I will wear a green willow,
And all around my hat, for a twelvemonth 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

Seven long long years my love and I are parted
Seven, long long years my love is bound to stay
Seven long years I'll love my love and never be false-hearted
And never sigh or sorrow though she's far, far away.

All around my hat, I will wear a green willow,
And all around my hat, for a twelvemonth 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.

Some young men there are who are preciously deceitful,
A-coaxin' of the fair young maids they mean to lead astray
As soon as they deceive them, so cruelly they leave them
I'll love my love forever though she's far, far away.

All around my hat, I will wear a green willow,
And all around my hat, for a twelvemonth 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.
