|
O the summer time has come |
|
And the trees are sweetly blooming |
|
And 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 purple heather. |
|
Will you go, lassie, 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, lassie, go? |
|
Chorus |
|
I will range through the wilds |
|
And the deep land so dreary |
|
And return with the spoils |
|
To the bower o' my dearie. |
|
Will ye go lassie go ? |
|
Chorus |
|
If my true love she'll not come, |
|
Then I'll surely find another, |
|
To pull wild mountain thyme, |
|
All around the purple heather. |
|
Will you go, lassie, go? |
|
Chorus |
