Oh, the summer's in its prime

And the leaves are sweetly blooming,

And the wild mountain thyme

All the mountains is perfuming

Will you go lassie go?



Chorus 

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 crystal fountain.

And on it I will pile

All the flowers of the mountain.

Will you go lassie go?



(Chorus)



If my true love he won't go,

I will surely find no other

To pull wild mountain thyme

All around the blooming heather.

Will you go lassie go?



(Chorus)
