Wild Mountain Thyme
Oh the summer time is comin', and the trees are sweetly bloomin',
And the wild moun-tain thyme, grows around the bloomin' heather.
Will ye go, lassie, go?
chorus
And we'll all go together,
To pick wild mountain thyme,
All around the bloomin' heather,
Will ye go, lassie, go?
I will build my love a bower, by yon pure and crystal fountain,
And on it I will pile all the flowers of the mountain.
Will ye go, lassie, go? chorus
If my true love were to leave me, I would surely find another,
Where the wild mountain thyme grows around the purple heather.
Will ye go, lassie go? chorus
Oh, the summer time is leavin', and the trees are swiftly turnin',
And the wild mountain thyme casts its seed on the purple heather.
Will ye go, lassie, go? chorus
