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
