The Wild Mountain Thyme

(traditional) 

(Francis McPeake)


For the summertime is coming
And the leaves are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme 
Grows around the purple heather
Will you go, laddie, go?

And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
And all around the purple heather
Will you go, laddie, go?

If my true love he won't go
I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme,
And all around the purple heather
Will you go, laddie, go?

And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather
Will you go, laddie, go?

I will build my love a tower
At the full that yonder fountain
And on it I'll put
All the flowers of the mountain
Will you go, laddie, go?

And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather
Will you go, laddie, go?
