G C G C G

Oh, the summer time has come, and the trees are sweetly bloomin'

C G G/F# Em C Am C

And the wild mountain thyme grows around the bloomin' heather

Chorus:

G C G C G

Will ye go lassie go? And we'll all go together

C G G/F# Em C Am C

To pull wild mountain thyme all around the bloomin' heather

G C G

Will ye go lassie go?

G C G C G

I will build my love a bower by yon cool crystal fountain

C G G/F# Em C Am C

And round it I will pile all the wild flowers o' the mountain (Chorus)

G C G C G

I will range through the wilds and the deep glen sae dreary

C G G/F# Em C Am C

And return wi' their spoils tae the bower o' my dearie (Chorus)

G C G C G

If my true love she'll not come, then I'll surely find another

C G G/F# Em C Am C

To pull wild mountain thyme all around the bloomin' heather (Chorus)
