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
And 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
From all 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?

I will build my love a tower
At the foot of yonder fountain
And on it I'll put
All the flowers of the mountain
Will you go laddie, go?

And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
From all around the purple heather
Will you go laddie, go?
