All Around My Hat

(Chorus):
D   A                D                                         A
All around my hat I will wear the green willow, and
D   A                D                                      E        A
All around my hat for a twelve month and a day
           A7                     D                 G                        Bm
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it
       D  A        D                                 A   D
It's all for my true love who's far, far away.


Fare you well cold winter and fare you well cold frost
For nothing have I gained, but my own true love I've lost
I'll sing and I'll be merry when occasion I'd receive
But he's a false, deluded young man.  Let him go, let him be.

The other night he brought me a fine diamond ring
But he thought to have deprived me of a far better thing.
But I'm being careful as lovers, they ought to be
Well, he's a false, deluded young man.  Let him go, let him be.
And it's...
(Chorus)


A quarter pound of reason and a half a pound of sense
And a small sprig of time with a cup of confidence
Now you mix them all together and you will plainly see
That he's a false, deluded young man.  Let him go, let him be.
And it's...
(Chorus)
