My love he is fair and my love he is handsome-o
My love he is as honest as the dawning of the day
And when he said goodbye, well, I couldn't even cry while
Now since I am a-waiting by the dark and lonely bay.

All around my hat I will wear a green willow
All around my hat for twelve months and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I wear it
It's all because my true love is far, far away.

Now why is it so that my letters are unanswered-o?
And why is it so that from him I never hear?
Oh, has he found a new love in France or in Germany
Or is he lying dead? Oh, 'tis this that I do fear.

All around my hat I will wear a green willow
All around my hat for twelve months and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I wear it
It's all because my true love is far, far away.

Now, do you remember the walks along the hillside
Many's the hearty word that we spoke along the way
But now he's far away and he never will return, so
Farewell the sounds of laughter for my love so young and gay.

All around my hat I will wear a green willow
All around my hat for twelve months and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I wear it
It's all because my true love is far, far away.

All around my hat I will wear a green willow
All around my hat for twelve months and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I wear it
It's all because my true love is far, far away.
