Chorus:
And we'll all go together
to pluck wild mountain thyme
all around the blooming heather.
Will ye go, lassie, go?

1  Oh the summertime is coming
and the trees are sweetly blooming
and the wild mountain thyme
grows around the blooming heather.
Will ye go, lassie, go?

2  I will build my love a tower
near yon pure[clear] crystal fountain
and on it I will build
all the flowers of the mountain.
Will ye go, lassie, go?

3  If my true love were gone
I would surely find another
where wild mountain thyme
grows around the blooming heather.
Will ye go, lassie, go?
