lyrics

Well the summer time is come,
And the trees are sweetly blooming,
And the wild mountain thyme - blows around the blooming heather,
Will ye go . . .

I will build my love a tower,
Way beyond thon crystal fountain,
And upon it I will put, all the flowers of the mountain,
Will ye go, Will ye go . . .

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

If my true love she was to leave,
I would surely find another
To luck wild mountain thyme, - all around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Will ye go . . .
