"Wild Mountain Thyme" was our favorite song we learned while touring Ireland. It has Scottish origins and there are many different versions out there, but we consulted Pat Kelleher, a friend we met on our first tour, and had him send us his arrangement. Hope you all enjoy it!

►LYRICS - Wild Mountain Thyme
O, the summertime is comin'
And the trees are sweetly bloomin'
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the bloomin' heather
Will you go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will you go, lassie, go?
I will build my love a bower
Near yon pure crystal fountain
And on it I will place
All the flowers of the mountain
Will you go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will you go, lassie, go?
If my true love, she were gone*
I would surely find another
Where the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the bloomin' heather
Will you go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will you go, lassie, go?
Will you go, lassie, go?
Will you go, lassie, will you go?
If you are not familiar with the Scottish landscape:
Thyme - a herb
Heather - a plant that carpets the ground instagram.com/p/CT1yK3VqsBa
Lassie - a young woman
Bower - a leafy shelter like the one behind Emmett at 1:46
* Fun fact: Traditional Irish musician Francis McPeake came across this folk song on his travels of Scotland, and he rewrote and brought it to Ireland in the 1950s. He dedicated the song to his wife, and his son later added an extra verse to celebrate his father's second marriage.
