Oh the summer time is coming,
And the leaves are sweetly blooming,
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather,
Will ye go Lassie go,


(Chorus)
And we'll all go together,
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather,
Will ye go, Lassie, go.

I will build my love a tower
Near yon pure crystal fountain,
And on it I will build
All the flowers of the mountain,
Will ye go Lassie, go?

If my true love she were gone
I would surely find another,
Where the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather,
Will ye go Lassie, go?
