Oh the summertime is comin’
And the trees are sweetly bloomin’
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the purple heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?

And we’ll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
From around the bloomin’ heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
Will ye go, lassie, go?

I will build my love a bower
By yon pure and crystal fountain
And on it I will pile
All the flowers of the mountain
Will ye go, lassie, go?

And we’ll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
From around the bloomin’ heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
Will ye go, lassie, go?

Oh the summertime is comin’
And the trees are sweetly bloomin’
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the purple heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
And we’ll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
From around the bloomin’ heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
Will ye go, lassie, go?

And we’ll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
From around the bloomin’ heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
Will ye go, lassie, go?

Speed bonny boat like a bird on the wing
‘Onward!’ the sailors cry
Carry the lad who’s born to be king
Over the sea to Skye

Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar
Thunderclaps rend the air
Baffled, our foes stand on the shore
Follow they do not dare

Speed bonny boat like a bird on the wing
‘Onward!’ the sailors cry
Carry the lad who’s born to be king
Over the sea to Skye
Will you go, lassie go?
Will you go, lassie go?
Will you go, lassie go?
