All around my hat — Lyrics
My love she was fair and my love she was kind
And cruel the judge and jury that sentenced her away
For thieving was a thing that she never was inclined to
They send my love across the sea ten thousand miles away

About All around my hat
This arrangement of the traditional folk song All Around My Hat is set for TTBB voices. The English lyrics tell a poignant story of a lover whose beloved has been unfairly sentenced and sent away. The singer's devotion is expressed through the wearing of a green willow sprig for a year and a day, a symbol of remembrance and enduring affection, with the explanation that his true love is ten thousand miles away.
