Lyrics:

All around my hat I will wear the green willow**lf**All around my hat for a twelve-month and a day**lf**And if anyone should ask me the reason why I''m wearing it**lf**It''s all for my true love who''s far far away **lf****lf**Fare thee well cold winter and fare thee well cold frost**lf**Nothing have I gained but my own true love I''ve lost**lf**I''ll sing and I''ll be merry when occasion I do see**lf**He''s a false deluding young man, let him go farewell he**lf****lf**The other night he brought me a fine diamond ring**lf**But he thought to have deprived me of a far better thing**lf**But I being careful like lovers ought to be**lf**He''s a false deluding young man, let him go farewell he**lf****lf**All around my hat I will wear the green willow**lf**All around my hat for a twelve-month and a day**lf**And if anyone should ask me the reason why I''m wearing it**lf**It''s all for my true love who''s far far away **lf****lf**Here''s a quarter a pound of reasons, and a half pound of sense**lf**A small sprig of time and as much of prudence**lf**You mix them all together and you will plainly see**lf**He''s a false deluding young man, let him go farewell he**lf****lf**All around my hat I will wear the green willow**lf**All around my hat for a twelve-month and a day**lf**And if anyone should ask me the reason why I''m wearing it**lf**It''s all for my true love who''s far far away
