All around my hat,I will wear the green willow  And all around my hat  For a twelve month and a day  An if anyone should ask me  The reason why I'm wearing itIt's all for my true love  Who's far, far away    Fare the well cold winter,  And fare the well cold frost  Nothing have I gained  But my own true love I've lost  I'll sing and I'll be married  When occasion I do seek  She's a false deluded young girl  Let her go, farewell she    All around my hat,I will wear the green willow  And all around my hat  For a twelve month and a day  An if anyone should ask me  The reason why I'm wearing itIt's all for my true love  Who's far, far away    And all around my hat,I will wear the green willow  And all around my hat  For a twelve month and a day  An if anyone should ask me  The reason why I'm wearing itIt's all for my true love  Who's far, far away    Last night she bought me  A fine diamond ring but  She thought to have deprived me  Of a far better thing  But I've being careful  I'd love us all to 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  An if anyone should ask me  The reason why I'm wearing itIt's all for my true love  Who's far, far away
