Lyrics for the song Wild Mountain Thyme:

Oh the summertime is coming
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme grows around the blooming heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?

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

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

I will build my love a bower
Near yon pure crystal fountain
And on it I will pile all the flowers of the mountain
Will ye go, lassie, go?

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

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