Lyrics:

(Traditional)All around my hat I will wear the green willowAnd all around my hat, for a twelve month and a dayAnd if
anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing itIt's all for my true love who's far far awayFaretheewell cold winter, and
faretheewell cold frostNothing have I gained, but my own true love I've lostI'll sing and I'll be merry when occasion I do s
eeShe's a false deluded young girl, let her go, farewell sheAnd all around my hat I will wear the green willowAnd all aroun
d my hat, for a twelve month and a dayAnd if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing itIt's all for my true love who'
s far far awayThe other night she brought me a fine diamond ringBut she thought to have deprived me of a far better thingBu
t I being careful like lovers ought to beShe's a false deluded young girl, let her go, farewell sheAnd all around my hat I w
ill wear the green willowAnd all around my hat, for a twelve month and a dayAnd if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm we
aring itIt's all for my true love who's far far away
