Oh, the summer time is coming,
And the trees are sweetly blooming,
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the purple heather.
Will you go, lassie, will you go?
And we'll all go together
To pick wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather,
Will you go lassie, will you go?
I will build my love a bower
By yon pure and crystal fountain,
Yes and on it I will lay
All the flowers of the mountain.
Will you go lassie, will you go?
And we'll all go together
To pick wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather,
Will you go lassie, will you go?
Interlude
If my true love won't come with me,
I will surely find another
To pick wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will you go lassie, will you go?
And we'll all go together
To pick wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather,
Will you go oh will you go lassie, will you go?
