    O 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?
    And we'll all go together
    To pluck wild mountain thyme
    All around the bloomin' heather
    Will ye go Lassie Go?
    I will build my love a bower
    Near yon your crystal fountain
    And on it I will pile
    All the flowers of the mountain
    Will ye go Lassie Go?
    And we'll all go together
    To pluck wild mountain thyme
    All around the bloomin' heather
    Will ye go lassie go?
    If my true love she won't come
    I'll surely find another
    To pluck wild mountain thyme
    All around the bloomin' heather
    Will ye go Lassie Go?
    And we'll all go together
    To pluck wild mountain thyme
    All around the bloomin' heather
    Will ye go Lassie Go?
    O 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?
    And we'll go together
    To pluck wild mountain thyme
    All around blooming heather
    Will ye go lassie go
