Wild Mountain Thyme

[Verse 1: Rufus Wainwright]

Oh the summer time is coming

And the trees are sweetly blooming

And the wild mountain thyme

All the colors are perfuming

Would you go, lassie, go?

[Chorus]

And we'll all go together

To pour wild mountain thyme

All around the blooming heather

Will you go, lassie, go?

[Verse 2: Lily Lanken]

I will build my love a bower

By yon clear and crystal fountain

And all it I will place

All the flowers of the mountain

Will you go, lassie, go?

[Chorus]

And we'll all go together

To pour wild mountain thyme

All around the blooming heather

Will you go, lassie, go?

[Verse 3: Chaim Tannenbaum]

I will range through the wilds

And the deep glen so dreary

And return with the spoils

To thе bower of my deary

Will you go, lassie, go?

[Chorus]

And wе'll all go together

To pour wild mountain thyme

All around the blooming heather

Will you go, lassie, go?

[Verse 4: Anna McGarrigle]

If my true love's she'll not come

Then I'll surely find another

To pour wild mountain thyme

All around the moon-lit heather

Will you go, lassie, go?

[Chorus]

And we'll all go together

To pour wild mountain thyme

All around the blooming heather

Will you go, lassie, go?
