Oh, the summertime is coming

And the trees are sweetly blooming

And the wild mountain thyme

Grows around the blooming heather

Will ye go lassie, go?

And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme

All around the blooming heather

Will ye go lassie, go?

​

I will build my love a tower

Near yon pure crystal fountain

And on it I will build

All the flowers of the mountain

Will ye go lassie, go?

​

And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme

All around the blooming heather

Will ye go lassie, go?

​

If my true love she were gone

I would surely find another
To pluck wild mountain thyme

All around the blooming heather

​

And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme

All around the blooming heather

Will ye go lassie, go?
