GUEST,Eluned Why the willow in All Around My Hat? (39) Why the willow in All Around My Hat? 18 Jan 01

Does anyone know WHY he/she (there're at least two versions) wears a green willow all around his/her hat for an absent "true love" (in the female version, he was NOT very true...) in the English traditional "All Around My Hat (I will wear the green willow)"????
I'd like to sing the song at some upcoming gatherings, but I just _know_ that somebody will ask that question!
