Wild Mountain Thyme

The summer time has come

And the trees are sweetly blooming,

And the wild mountain thyme

Grows among the purple heather.

And will you go, laddie go?

If you will not go with me

I will surely find another

To pick wild mountain thyme

All across the purple heather,

And will you go, laddie, go?

And we'll all go together

To pluck wild mountain thyme

All among the purple heather

Will you go, laddie go?

For I will build my love a bower

By yon crystal flowing fountain,

And upon it I will pile

All of the flowers of the mountain.

And I will build my love a shelter

By yon clear mountain stream

Oh my love shall be the fairest

That the summer sun has seen

Aw will you go o' laddie go?

And we'll all go together

To pluck wild mountain thyme

All among the blooming heather

Will you go, laddie go?

And we'll all go together

To pick wild mountain thyme

All among the blooming heather

Will you go... laddie, go?

go...

Come and walk with me for awhile

...along the way

Will you go?
