Intro: As last two lines of chorus
Chorus:
G D G (C D7 G)
Thyme it is a precious thing
G A A7 D D7
(And)Thyme brings all things to my mind
G G7 C D D7
Thyme with all its labours, along with all its joys
G D D7 G (C D7 G)
Thyme, brings all things to an end.
G D D7 G (C D7 G)
Once I had a bunch of thyme
G A A7 D D7
I thought it never would decay
G G7 C D D7
Until a handsome sailor, he happened to pass by
G D D7 G (C D7 G)
And he stole my bunch of thyme away
G D G (C D7 G)
My love, my love is like the sun
G A A7 D D7
In the pleasant month of June
G G7 C D D7
Now I am like a sun that wonders up and down
G D D7 G (C D7 G)
But you my love are like the moon
Chorus
G D G (C D7 G)
In June there's a red and rosy bush
G A A7 D D7
The sharpest thorns are at its heart
G G7 C D D7
Never put your hand in to pick those pretty flowers
G D D7 G (C D7 G)
Or else you'll surely feel the smart.
G D G (C D7 G)
When I wore my apron low
G A A7 D D7
He followed me through frost and snow
G G7 C D D7
And now that I wear my apron to my chin
G D D7 G (C D7 G)
He sails on by and says nothing.
Chorus
G D G (C D7 G)
There is an ale house in the town
G A A7 D D7
Where my true lover sits him down
G G7 C D D7
You can see him take those flash girls and sit then on his knee
G D D7 G (C D7 G)
And never ever mention me.
G D G (C D7 G)
Love, oh love, oh careless love
G A A7 D D7
Love, oh love, oh careless love
G G7 C D D7
See him take those flash girls and sit them on his knee
G D D7 G (C D7 G)
Can't you see what love has done to me.
Final Chorus:
(Unaccompanied)
Thyme it is a precious thing
Thyme brings all things to my mind
G G7 C D D7
Thyme with all its labours, along with all its joys
G D D7 G (C D7 G)
Thyme, brings all things to an end.
