All around my hat I will wear the green willow

And all around my hat for a twelve month and a day

And if any one 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 occasion I do see

 She's a false deluding young girl let her go fare-well she

All around my hat I will wear the green willow

 And all around my hat for a twelve month and a day

 And if any one should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it

 It's all for my true love who's far, far away.
