|
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
