Purple Heather

(Also known elsewhere as "Wild Mountain Thyme")

Oh, the summertime is coming,
and the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will ya go, lassie, go.

And we'll all go together
To pick wild mountain thyme
All among the purple heather
Will ya go, lassie, go

Lassie go
Lassie go

I will build my love a tower
By the clear crystal fountain
And on it i will place
And on it i will place
All the flowers of the mountain
Will you go, lassie, go.

And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather
Will ya go, lassie go

Lassie, go

Will ya go, lassie, go
If you will not go come me
I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All along the purple heather
Will ya go, lassie, go

And we'll all go together
To pick wild mountain thyme
All along the purple heather
Will ya go, lassie, go.

And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All across the purple heather
Will ya go, lassie, go.

Lassie, go
Lassie, go
Lassie, go
