oh the summertime is coming

and the leaves are sweetly blooming

and the wild mountain thyme

grows around the purple heather

will you go laddie go

and we'll all go together

to pull wild mountain thyme

all around the purple heather

will you go laddie go

if my true love he won't go

i will surely find another

to pull wild mountain thyme

all around the purple

will you go laddie go

and we'll all go together

to pull wild mountain thyme

all around the purple heather

will you go laddie go

i will build my love a tower

my young clear crystal fountain

and on it i will shower

all the flowers of the mountain

will you go laddie go

and we'll all go together

to pull wild mountain thyme

all around the purple heather

will you go laddie go
