oh, the summertime is coming,
and the trees are sweetly blooming,
and the wild mountain thyme
grows around the purple heather
will you go, lassie go,
chorus:
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 pure and crystal fountain
and on it i will pile
all the flowers of the mountain.
will you go, lassie, go
[chorus]
if my true love e'er should leave me
i would surely find another
where the wild mountain thyme
grows around the blooming heather.
[chorus]
oh, the autumn-time is coming,
and the leaves are gently falling,
where the wild mountain thyme
grows around the blooming heather
[chorus]
