W:Chorus:
W:All around my hat I will wear the green willow,
W:And all around my hat for a twelve-month and a day,
W:And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it,
W:It's all for my true love, who's far, far away.
W:
W:Fare thee well cold winter, and fare thee well cold frost.
W:Nothing have I gained, but my own true love I've lost.
W:I'll sing and I'll be merry, when occasion I do see.
W:He's a false deluding young man, let him go, farewell he.
W:
W:Chorus
W:
W:The other night he brought me a fine diamond ring,
W:But he thought to have deprived me of a far better thing.
W:But I being careful, like lovers ought to be,
W:He's a false deluding young man, let him go, farewell he.
W:
W:Chorus
W:
W:Here's a half a pound of reasons, and a quarter pound of sense,
W:A small sprig of time and as much of prudence.
W:You mix them all together and you will plainly see.
W:He's a false deluding young man, let him go, farewell he.
W:
W:Chorus
