Wild Mountain Thyme

Colin Hay


Oh, the summertime is comin', 
And the trees are sweetly blooming, 
Where the wild mountain thyme 
Grows around the blooming heather 
Will ye go, lassie, will ye go? 
And we'll all go together to pick wild mountain thyme 
All around the blooming heather. 
Will ye go, lassie, will ye go?

I will build my love a bower 
By yon pure crystal fountain 
And around it I will place 
All the flowers of the mountain. 

Will ye go, lassie, will ye go? 
And we'll all go together to pick wild mountain thyme 
All around the blooming heather. 
Will ye go, lassie, will ye go? 

If my true love e'er should leave me 
I would surely find another 
Where the wild mountain thyme 
Grows around the blooming heather. 

Will ye go, lassie, will ye go? 
And we'll all go together to pick wild mountain thyme 
All around the blooming heather. 
Will ye go, lassie, will ye go? 

Oh, the autumn-time is comin', 
And the leaves are gently falling, 
Where the wild mountain thyme 
Grows around the blooming heather 

Will ye go, lassie, will ye go? 
And we'll all go together to pick wild mountain thyme 
All around the blooming heather. 
Will ye go, lassie, will ye go?
