Oh the summertime is coming
        F                  C
And the leaves are sweetly blooming
        F             C
And the wild mountain thyme
        Dm               F
Blooms around the purple heather.
         C   F      C
Will you go, lassie, go.

If my true love she won't go,
I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
From all around the purple heather.
Will you go, lassie, go.

          F        C
And we'll all go together
        F             C
To pull wild mountain thyme
          Dm               F
From all around the purple heather.
         C   F      C
Will you go, lassie, go.

I will build my love a tower   *)
At the foot of yonder mountain  *)
And then on it I will put
All the flowers of the mountain
Will you go, lassie, go.

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

*) Several other versions have “bower” and “fountain” here, but this seems to be what they sing.
