Oh, the summertime is coming
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather

(Chorus)
Will ye go, lassie, go?
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 bower
By yon pure crystal fountain
And I, I will pile
All the flowers of the mountain

(Chorus)
If my true love, she would die
I would surely find another
Where the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather

(Chorus)
Let us go to the banks of the ocean
Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee
Long ago, I used to be a young man
And dear Margaret remembers that for me
Let us go to the banks of the ocean
Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee
Long ago, I used to be a young man
And dear Margaret remembers that for me

And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?

And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
