Version 1ALL AROUND MY HAT / STEELEYE SPAN [Chorus] - 1st time Unaccompanied 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 wearin' it, It's all for my true love who's far, far, away [Verse] D A D A Fare thee well cold winter, and fare thee well cold frost. D A D E A Oh nothing I have gained, but my own true love have lost. A D G Bm So sing and I'll be merry, when occasion I do see- Bm D A D A D He's a false deluded young man, let him go, fare well he. [Chorus] D A D A All around my hat, I will wear the green willow, D A D E A And all around my hat, for a twelve-month and a day. A D G Bm A And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearin' it, D A D A D It's all for my true love who's far, far, away [Verse] D A D A Now the other day he brought me a fine diamond ring: D A D E A but he thought to deprive me of a far finer thing. A D G Bm But I being careful, as true lovers ought to be, Bm D A D A D He's a false deluded young man, let him go fare well he. [Chorus] D A D A Take a quarter pound of reason, and a half pound of sense, D A D E A A small sprig of time, and a pinch of prudence, A D G Bm Now mix then all together and you will plainly see: D A D A D He's a false deluded young man, let him go, fare well he.
