O the summertime is coming and the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme grows around the purple heather

Will you go, lassie, go?

CHORUS:

And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather

Will you go, lassie, go?

I will build my love a bower by yon pure crystal fountain
And on it I will pile all the flowers of the mountain

Will you go, lassie, go?

CHORUS:

If my true love she were gone I would surely find another
Where the wild mountain thyme grows around the purple heather

Will you go, lassie, go?

CHORUS:

I live build my love a shelter on yon high mountain green
And my love shall be the fairest that the summer sun has seen

Will you go, lassie, go?
