1. Now the summertime is coming
and the trees are sweetly blooming
and the wild mountain thyme
grows around the blooming heather.

R: Will ye go lassie go
and we'll all go together
to pluck wild mountain thyme
all around the blooming heather.
*: Will ye go lassie go?

2. I will build my love a tower
by yon pure crystal fountain
and around it I will pile
all the flowers of the mountain.
R:

3. If my true love she won't come
I will surely find another
where the wild mountain thyme
grows around the blooming heather.
