verse 1 Late summer time is coming With the trees still sweetly blooming And the wild mountain thyme Growing round the purple heather Will you go, lassie go And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme All around the purple heather Will you go, lassie go verse 2 I will build my love a bower Behind the clear crystal fountain And around it I will sow 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 you go, lassie go verse 3 If my love should tell me no Surely I will find another To pull wild mountain thyme All around the purple heather Will you go, lassie go And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme All around the purple heather Will you go, lassie go And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme All around the purple heather Will you go, lassie go N.C. And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme All around the purple heather Will you go, lassie go
