WILD MOUNTAIN THYME

(orig. by Robert Tannahill and Frank McPeake,
parody verse by Stephen Suffet)

Oh, the summer time has come
And the trees are sweetly blooming,
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
    Will you go, lassie, go?
	
	And we'll all go together
	To pull wild mountain thyme
	All around the blooming heather,
	Will you go, lassie, go?

I will build my love a fountain
By yon clear crystal stream.
And my love will be the fairest
That the summer sun has seen.
    Will you go, lassie, go?
	
	And we'll all go together
	To pull wild mountain thyme
	All around the blooming heather,
	Will you go, lassie, go?
	
I will build my love a bower
By yon clear crystal fountain.
And on it I shall plant
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 blooming heather,
	Will you go, lassie, go?
	
O the cold winter's wind
Blows around our humble dwelling
Whilst we round the fire
Lift our voice in chorus singing
    Will you go, lassie, go?
	
	And we'll all go together
	To pull wild mountain thyme
	All around the blooming heather,
	Will you go, lassie, go?
	
And if my true love won't come,
I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather.
    Will you go, lassie, go?
	
	And we'll all go together
	To pull wild mountain thyme
	All around the blooming heather,
	Will you go, lassie, go?
	
Oh, I walked my dear old collie,
Across the blooming bower,
But she never stopped to piddle,
Though I walked her half an hour.
    Will you go, lassie, go?
	
	And we'll all go together,
	As we walk our bloody dogs,
	Regardless of the weather.
	Will you go, Lassie, go?
