All Around My Hat Lyrics

Chorus:

All around my hat,

I will wear the green willow

All around my hat,

For a twelvemonth and a day

And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it,

It's all for my true love,

Who is far, far away

Fare thee well, cold winter

And fare thee well, 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,

He's a false, deluding young man,

Let him go, farewell he, and ..

Chorus

The other night he brought me

A fine diamond ring, but he

Thought to have deprive me

Of a far better thing!

But I being careful,

Like lovers ought to be,

He's a false, deluding young man

Let him go, farewell he, and ...

Chorus

With a quarter pound of reason,

And a half a pound of sense,

A small spring of time,

And as much of prudence,

You mix them all together,

And you will plainly see

He's a false deluding young man

Let him go, farewell he, and ...

Chorus
