[C] All a[G]round my [C] hat, I will wear the green [G] willow,
And [C] all a[G]round my [C] hat, for a twelve-month [D] and a [G] day.
And if [G] anyone should [C] ask me the [F] reason why I'm [Am] wearin' it, (G)
It's [C] all [G] for my [C] true love who's [G] far, far, a[C]way
[C] Fare thee [G] well cold [C] winter, and fare thee well cold [G] frost.
For [C] nothing [G] have [C] gained, but my own true [D] love I’ve (G)lost.
I’ll [G] sing and I'll be [C] merry, when oc[F]casion I do [Am] see (G)
He's a [C] false de[G]luded [C] young man, let him [G] go, fare well [C] he
[Chorus]
[C] The [G] other [C] night he brought me a fine diamond [G] ring
But he [C] thought to [G] have de[C]prived me of a far [D] better [G] thing
But [G] I being [C] careful, like [F] lovers ought to [Am] be, [G]
He's a [C] false de[G]luded [C] young man, let him [G] go, fare well [C] he
And
Chorus:
It's a [C] quarter [G] pound of [C] reason and a half a pound of [G] sense
A [C] small [G] sprig of [C] time and as (D) much of pru[G]dence
You mix them all to[C]gether and [F] you will plainly [Am] see [G]
He's a [C] false de[G]luded [C] young man, let him [G] go, fare well [C] he
And
