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 [bad word] love who's far, far away

Fare thee well cold winter and fare thee well cold frost
Nothing have I gained but my own [bad word] 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

The other night he brought me a fine diamond ring
But he thought to have deprived 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

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 [bad word] love who's far, far away

It's a quarter pound of reasons and a half a pound of sense
small sprig of time and as much of [bad word] 
You mix them all together and you will plainly see
He's a false deluding young man, let him go, farewell he 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] love who's far, far away
