about
A traditional love song from the late 1700s written by Francis McPeake.
lyrics
Oh, the summer time is coming,
And the trees are sweetly blooming,
And the wild mountain thyme,
Grows around the blooming heather.
Chorus:
Will you go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather,
Will you go, lassie, go?
I will build my love a bower
By yon pure crystal fountain,
And around it I will place
All the flowers of the mountain.
Chorus:
If my true love, she should leave
I will surely find another
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather.
Chorus:
My true love has hair of gold,
And her eyes are verdant green
She’s the loveliest sight
My old eyes have every seen
Chorus:
Oh, the autumn time has come
and the leaves are gently falling
and the wild mountain thyme
grows around the purple heather
Chorus:
Oh, the summertime is coming
And thre trees are blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather.
