The Wild Mountain Thyme
O the summer time has come
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And wild mountain thyme
Grows around the purple heather
Will you go, lassie, go?
Chorus:
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather
Will you go, lassie, go?
I will build my love a tower
By yon clear crystal fountain
And on it I will pile
All the flowers of the mountain
Will you go, lassie, go?
I will range through the wilds
And the deep land so dreary
and return with the spoils
to the bower o' my dearie
Will ye go lassie go ?
If my true love she'll not come
then I'll surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather
Will you go, lassie, go?
