Oh the summertime is coming
And the trees are sweetly blooming
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 give my love a bowl

By young clear crystal fountain
And in 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 won't go
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 pluck wild mountain thyme

All around the bloomin' heather.
Will you go, lassie, go
