Description:
My version of a Francis McPeake classic. I usually sing this at the end of a kitchen session or performance with everyone joining in on the chorus.

Lyrics:
Oh the summertime is coming
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie go?

Chorus
And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie go?

I will build my love a tower
Near yon' pure crystal fountain
And on it I will build
All the flowers of the mountain
Will ye go, Lassie go?

Chorus

I will range the mountains o'er
And the deep lynns sa' drearie
And return wi' ma spoils
Ta' the bower o' ma dearie
Will ye go, Lassie go?

If my true love she were gone
I would surely find another
Where wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie go?

Chorus

Thanks for the feedback. It does my UlsterScot soul a world of good to do
these songs and please those that listen to them.
Slaínte! (gaelic for "good health to you")

You sure have a knack for classic folk tunes.
Especially with that accent, it really brings out that flavor.

It kind of make me think that your music would of been
nice for a movie like "Far and Away" with Tom Cruise.

Thanks

I've a soft spot for items like this. Guess it's because 3 of
my grandparents are Irish. Well done.
