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 

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
