Wild Mountain Thyme

Text: Traditional

(Jerry Rich)

Oh the summer time is come,
And the trees are sweetly blooming,
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the purple heather.
Will ye go, lassie, go?

Chorus:
And we’ll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather.
Will ye go, lassie, go?

I would build my love a bower
By yon clear and crystal fountain:
And on it I will pile
All the flowers of the mountain.
Will ye go, lassie, go?
Chorus

If my own true love were gone,
I would ne’er find another
Where wild mountain thyme
Grows around the purple heather.
Will ye go, lassie, go?
Chorus
