All around my hat,I will wear the green willow And all around my hat For a twelve month and a day An if anyone should ask me The reason why I'm wearing itIt's all for my true love Who's far, far away
Fare the well cold winter, And fare the well cold frost Nothing have I gained But my own true love I've lost I'll sing and I'll be married When occasion I do seek She's a false deluded young girl Let her go, farewell she
All around my hat,I will wear the green willow And all around my hat For a twelve month and a day An if anyone should ask me The reason why I'm wearing itIt's all for my true love Who's far, far away
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 itIt's all for my true love Who's far, far away
Last night she bought me A fine diamond ring but She thought to have deprived me Of a far better thing But I've being careful I'd love us all to 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 An if anyone should ask me The reason why I'm wearing itIt's all for my true love Who's far, far away
