Story Behind the Song
Traditional Scottish, also known as Wild Mountain Thyme.
Lyrics
WILL YE GO, LASSIE, GO
1. Oh the summer time is comin',
And the trees are sweetly bloomin',
And the wild mountain thyme,
Grows around the bloomin' heather.
Will ye go, lassie, go?
CHORUS:
And well all go together,
To pluck wild mountain thyme,
All around the bloomin' heather.
Will ye go, lassie, go?
2. I will build my love a tower,
Near yon pure crystal fountain,
And 'round it I will plant,
All the flowers o' the mountain.
Will ye go, lassie, go?
3. If my true love she were gone,
I would surely find another,
Where the wild mountain thyme,
Grows around the bloomin' heather.
Will ye go, lassie go?
