Wild Mountain Thyme

Oh, the summer-time has come

And the trees are sweetly bloomin',

And the wild mountain thyme

Grows all around the purple heather;

Will you go, laddie, go?

Refrain

And we'll all go together,

To pull wild mountain thyme

And all around the purple heather;

Will you go, laddie, 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, laddie, go?

Refrain

If my true love has gone

I will surely not find another

To pull wild mountain thyme

All around the purple heather;

Will you go, laddie, go?

Refrain
