O the summer time has come And the trees are sweetly bloomin' And the wild mountain thyme Grows around the bloomin' heather Will ye go lassie go?
Chorus: And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme All around the bloomin' heather Will ye go lassie go?
I will build my love a bower (summerhouse) By yon cool crystal fountain And round it I will pile All the wild flowers o' the mountain Will ye go lassie go?
(chorus)
I will range through the wilds And the deep glen sae dreamy And return wi' their spoils Tae the bower o' my dearie Will ye go lassie go?
(chorus)
If my true love she'll not come Then I'll surely find another To pull wild mountain thyme All around the bloomin' heather Will ye go lassie go?
