All Around My Hat - Status Quo, Maddy Prior

All around my hat

I will wear the green willow

And all around my hat

For a twelve month and a day

And if anyone should ask me The reason why I’m wearing it It’s all for my true love

Who’s 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 on occasion I do see

She’s a false deluded young girl

Let here 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

And if anyone should ask me The reason why I’m wearing it It’s all for my true love

Who’s far far away

The other night she brought me A fine diamond ring but,

She thought to have deprived me Of a far better thing

But I being careful

As lovers ought to be 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

And if anyone should ask me The reason why I’m wearing it It’s all for my true love

Who’s far far away

All around my hat

I will wear the green willow

And all around my hat

For a twelve month and a day

And if anyone should ask me The reason why I’m wearing it It’s all for my true love

Who’s far far away
