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 |
