The Wild Mountain Thyme

Singer - Joan Baez

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
From 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
By 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?

Songwriter: Traditional song, arranged by Francis McPeake Family
