Lyrics

THE WILD MOUNTAIN THYME (Scottish traditional)

Oh the summertime has come
and the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
grows around the purple heather
Will you go lassie go?

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?

And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather.
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 of my dearie
Will you go lassie go?

And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather.
Will you 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?

And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather.
Will you go lassie go?
