All Around My Hat

(One, two, one, two, three)

All around my hat
I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat
For a 12 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 the well cold winter
And fare the well cold frost
But nothing have I gain
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 here go farewell she

And all around my hat
I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat
For a 12 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 12 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 12 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
