Lyrics

The summertime is coming
And the leaves (birds) are sweetly springing (singing)
And the wild mountain thyme
Blooms around the purple heather
Will you go, lassie, go

And we'll all go together
To pick wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will you go, lassie, go

I will build my love a bower
By yon clear crystal fountain
And around it I will place
All the flowers of the mountain
Will you go, lassie, go

And we'll all go together
To pick wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will you go, lassie, go

If my true love she should leave me
I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather
Will you go, lassie, go

And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will you go, lassie, go

Oh the summer time is leaving
And the leaves are swiftly turning
And the wild mountian thyme
Throws its seeds by the blooming heather
Will you go, lassie, go

And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will you go, lassie, go
