Steeleye Span - All Around My Hat lyrics
[Steeleye Span - All Around My Hat lyrics]
All around my hat I will
Wear the green willow
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 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
All around my hat I will
Wear the green willow
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
Here's a quarter a pound of reasons
And a half pound of sense
A small sprig 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
All around my hat I will
Wear the green willow
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
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
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
Wear the green willow
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 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
All around my hat I will
Wear the green willow
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
Here's a quarter a pound of reasons
And a half pound of sense
A small sprig 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
All around my hat I will
Wear the green willow
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
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
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
