Lyrics All Around My Hat - Status Quo, Maddy Prior

All Around My Hat

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 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 on occasion I do see
She’s a false deluded young girl
Let here go farewell she
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 true love
Who’s far far away
The other night she brought me A fine diamond ring but,
She thought to have deprived me Of a far better thing
But I being careful
As lovers ought to be She’s a false deluded young girl
Let her go farewell she
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 true 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 true love
Who’s far far away
