All Around My Hat
Arranged by Steve Lauerbach (aka Malcolm the Wanderer)
Album: First Harvest - St. Lauerbach
Traditional English Love Song.
Chorus:
All around my hat
I will wear the green willow.
All around my hat,
For a twelvemonth and a day.
And if anyone should ask me
The reason why I'm wearin' it,
It's all for my true love,
Who's far, far away.
Fare the well cold winter,
And fare thee well cold Frost.
Nothing I have gained
But my own true love have lost.
I'll sing and I'll be merry,
When occasion I do see.
He's a false, deluded young man,
Let him go, farewell he.
(Chorus)
The other night he brought me
A fine golden ring,
Well, he thought to deprive me
Of a far finer thing!
But I, being careful,
As true lovers ought to be.
He's a false, deluded young man;
Let him go, farewell he.
(Chorus)
Her'es a half a pound of reason
And a quarter pound of sense
A small sprig of time,
And as much of prudence.
Now mix them all together,
And you will plainly see,
He's a false, deluded young man
Let him go, farewell he.
(Chorus)
