All around my Hat

D A D A

All around my hat, I will wear the green willow.

D A D E A

All around my hat, for a twelwe months and a day,

D G Hm

and if anybody should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it,

D A D D A D

it's all for my true love, who's far, far away.

D A D A

My love he is fair and my love he is handsome,

D A D E A

my love he's as honest as the dawning of the day

D G Hm

and when he said goodbye I couldn't say just for a while,

D A D D A D

and now I'm awaiting by dark and lonely bay.

All around...

Oh why is it so, that my letters are unanswered,

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 and is this the night I fear.

All around...

Now do you remember, the walks along the hillside,

many are the happy words, that we spoke along the way,

but now he is far away an he never will return again

so farewell to laughter from my love so young and gay.
