Status Quo - All Around My Hat Lyrics






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

Faretheewell cold winter, and faretheewell cold frost
Nothing have I gained, but my own true love I've lost
I'll sing and I'll be merry when occasion I do see
She's a false deluded young girl, let her go, farewell she

And all around my hat I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat, for a twelve month and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love who's far far away

The other night she brought me a fine diamond ring
But she thought to have deprived me of a far better thing
But I being careful like lovers ought to be
She's a false deluded young girl, let her go, farewell she

And all around my hat I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat, for a twelve month and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love who's far far away

  10. D.... ....

    Maddy Prior, voice of an angel from before talent meant prancing about in knickers to a studio backing track, and she was mixed to the back; bloody criminal.

  11. J.... G....

    Some things never die!!!!!!!!

  12. T.... g....

  16. J.... H....

    Francis rossi is een goede gitarist hij speelt altijd met veel onspaning vind dat media francis altijd onderwaardeer

  17. M.... W....

    Wat een mooi lied en Status Quo doet het lied eer aan. Heel goed en krachtig en beheerst gespeeld. Als je zo gitaar kan spelen en zingen tegelijkertijd dan ben je "blessed""

    M.... W....

    Michaël Wisse ja aleen francis rossi word altijd ondergewaardeerd

  18. P.... K....

    Maddy,sing the boys down.....;-)

  22. M.... ....

    Quo took the wrong turn 30 years ago. This is rocking good.

  23. I.... A....

    What's the story behind this video? Why was Maddy Prior o stage with Status Quo? What year?

    I.... A....

    This is from Quo's 30th anniversary covers album Don't Stop ( 1996 ). It features some guest musicians like Maddy Prior, The Beach Boys or Brian May

    I.... A....

    This was also a single for Status Quo

    I.... A....

    Maddy Prior , one of the great woman in the Musical sceene. A heavenly voice...

    I.... A....

    ...which you don't nearly hear in this video. :-(

  24. s.... b....

    Wishing Maddy's mic had been turned up louder....and Francis should have let her take a verse on her own... Still, she looked like she was having a lot of fun!

    s.... b....

    You are right about Maddy's  microphone. nevertheless , this version is full of energy perfectly performed by these excellent guitarist

    s.... b....

    If you have Maddy there, why sing at all? She should've been lead singer on this.

    s.... b....

    @Nefarious Ned hope this is wrong, but maybe she's no longer able to handle all the verses and wanted it this way.

  25. �.... ....

    日本では、amaterasuoomokami と言われたお方様です。
    Maddy, I love you

  26. M.... L....

    Poor lass really can't dance....

    M.... L....

    +Mark Lister Your comment wasn´t that nice to begin with, buddy.

    M.... L....

    Off course Maddy can dance. She dances very well. Ralph McTell even wrote a song about her: 'When Maddy dances'

    M.... L....

    Who really cares about dancing ability? If you are so concerned then stick with your hip hop and R&B and leave us in peace to enjoy without your negative comments

    M.... L....

    Hush! She sings beautifully, and is obviously having a wonderful time!

    M.... L....

    Oh for fuck sake is that all you have?
