Wild Mountain Thyme
(Jimmy McPeake)

1. Oh, the summer time is coming,
   And the trees are sweetly blooming,
   And the wild mountain thyme
   grows around the blooming heather.

Chorus:
   Will you go, lassie, go?
   And we'll all go together
   To pull wild mountain thyme
   All around the blooming heather,
   Will you go lassie, go?

2. I will build my love a bower
   By yon clear and crystal fountain,
   And on it I will pile
   All the flowers of the mountain.
3. If my true love, she won't have me,
   I will surely find another
   To pull wild mountain thyme
   All around the blooming heather.

4. Oh, the summer time is coming
   And the trees are sweetly blooming
   And the wild mountain thyme
   Grows around the blooming heather.
