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 it's all for my true love 
 Who's far, far away
