English text

Oh the summertime is comin'
and the trees are sweetly bloomin'
and the wild mountain thyme
grows around the bloomin' heather.
Will ye go, lassie, go?

Chorus:
And we'll all go together
to pluck wild mountain thyme
all around the bloomin' 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 were gone
I would surely find another
where wild mountain thyme
grows around the bloomin' heather.
Will ye go, lassie, go?
