All around my hat

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 months and a day
D G Bm
And if anyone should ask me, the reason why I’m wearing it
D A D A D G A / D D
It’s all for my true love, who’s far, far away
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D A D A
Fare thee well cold winter, and fare thee well cold frost
D A D E A
For nothing have I gained, but my own true love I have lost
D G Bm
So sing and I’ll be merry, when occasion I do see
D A D A D G A +chorus
She’s a false deluded young girl, let her go, fare well she
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D A D A
The other day I bought her, a fine diamond ring
D A D E A
I thought to deprive her of a far finer thing
D G Bm
I promised to be careful, as true lovers ought to be
D A D A D G A +chorus
She showed me the door, and threw out my hat
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
D G Bm
Now mix them all together, and you will plainly see
D A D A D G A
She’s a false deluded young girl, let her go, fare well she
