Wild Mountain Thyme
{loadposition WildMountainThyme}
Oh, the summer time is coming,
And the trees all are blooming,
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather.
Chorus:
Will you go, lassie, will you go?
And we’ll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather,
Will you go, lassie, go?
I will build my love a bower
By yon clear and crystal fountain,
And all around the bower,
I’ll pile flowers from the mountain.
Chorus
If my true love, she won’t have me,
I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather.
Chorus
