Purple heather

Purple heather Lyrics

(Also known elsewhere as "Wild Mountain Thyme")

Oh, the summertime is gone,
and the leaves are sweetly turning
And the wild mountain thyme
Blooms across the purple heather
Will ya go, lassie, go.

If you will not go with me
I will never find another
To pick wild mountain thyme
All along the purple heather
Will ya go, lassie, go

And we'll all go together
To pick wild mountain thyme
All among the purple heather
Will ya go, lassie, go

Lassie go
Lassie go

I will build my love a tower
By the cool crystal waters
And I'll cling to her forever
Like the ivy to the heather
Will you go, lassie, go.

And we'll all go together
To pick wild mountain thyme
All along the purple heather
Will ya go, lassie go

Lassie, go

Will ya go, lassie, go

And we'll all go together
To pick wild mountain thyme
All along the purple heather
Will ya go, lassie, go.

And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All across the purple heather
Will ya go, lassie, go.

Lassie, go
Lassie, go
Lassie, go
