Now the summertime's coming
And the flowers are richly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Goes around the rich blue heather
Will you go, lassie, go?

I will build my love a tower
By the clear and silver fountain
And I'll cover it over
With the flowers of the mountain
Will you go, lassie, go?

And we'll go all together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will you go, lassie, go?

If my true love he were gone
I would surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will you go, lassie, go?
