Wild Mountain Thyme
Language: English
For the summertime is comin', And the trees are sweetly bloomin', And the wild mountain thyme Blooms around the purple heather. Will you go laddie, will you go? If my true love will not go I will surely find another To pull wild mountain thyme, All around the purple heather. Will you go, laddie, will you go? I will build my love a bower By yon clear crystal fountain, And in it I will pile All the flowers from the mounain. Will you go, lassie, will you go? And we'll all go together, To pull wild mountain thyme, All around the purple heather. Will you go, laddie, will you go?
