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
