Well the summer time is comin'
And the trees are sweetly bloomin'
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go lassie go

I will build my love a tower
Near the pure and crystal fountain
And upon it I will pile
All the flowers from the mountain
Will ye go lassie go

And we'll all go together
Te pluck wilde mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go lassie go

If my true love, she did leave me
I won't never find another
Where the wilde mountain thyme
Grows around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go lassie go
