LYRICS

CHORUS

Will ye go, Lassie/Laddie, go?

And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go, Lassie/Laddie, go?


VERSE 1
Oh the summer time has come
And the trees are sweetly bloomin'
The wild mountain thyme
Grows around the bloomin' heather

CHORUS


VERSE 2
I will build my love a bower
By yon cool crystal fountain
And round it I will pile
All the wild flowers o' the mountain

CHORUS


VERSE 3
I will range through the wilds
And the deep glen sae dreamy
And return wi' their spoils
To the bower o' my dearie

CHORUS


VERSE 4
If my true love, she/he were gone
Then I'll surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather


CHORUS x 2
