Sweet Thyme
(Pete Mundy)
In the springtime of the year
I loved and lost my dear
For love grows wild when the weather it is mild
As you will quickly hear
Cho: Sweet thyme, sweet thyme
The holly and the thyme
The rosemary and the willow tree
Around my heart entwine
Then in comes sweet July
When the nightingales do fly
And lovers play all in the hay
As the pale moon fills the sky
But when autumn's golden grain
Is gathered in again
And the turning year will bring my dear
And an end to all my pain
But in winter's cloak of gray
I'll find my love today
Oh, and I'll not wait till summer's at the gate
Away false love, awa
