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

Will you go, lassie, will you go? 
And we'll all go together 
To pull wild mountain thyme 
All around the blooming heather, 
Will you go, lassie, go? 
I will build my love a bower 
By yon clear and crystal fountain, 
And all around the bower,
I'll pile flowers from the mountain. 

If my true love, she won't have me, 
I will surely find another 
All around the blooming heather. 

Oh, the summertime is coming 
And thre trees are blooming 
And the wild mountain thyme 
Grows around the blooming heather.
