(Also known elsewhere as "Wild Mountain Thyme")

Oh, the summertime is coming,

and the trees are sweetly blooming

And the wild mountain thyme

Grows around the blooming heather

Will ya go, lassie, go.

And we'll all go together

To pick wild mountain thyme

All among the purple heather

Will ya go, lassie, go

Lassie go

Lassie go

I will build my love a tower

By the clear crystal fountain

And on it i will place

And on it i will place

All the flowers of the mountain

Will you go, lassie, go.

And we'll all go together

To pull wild mountain thyme

All around the purple heather

Will ya go, lassie go

Lassie, go

Will ya go, lassie, go

If you will not go come me

I will surely find another

To pull wild mountain thyme

All along the purple heather

Will ya go, lassie, go

And we'll all go together

To pick wild mountain thyme

All along the purple heather

Will ya go, lassie, go.

And we'll all go together

To pull wild mountain thyme

All across the purple heather

Will ya go, lassie, go.

Lassie, go

Lassie, go

Lassie, go
