Oh the spring time is coming And the leaves are sweetly blooming And the wild mountain thyme Grows among the purple heather Would you go, mama, go? And we'll all go together To the wild mountain thyme All across the purple heather Would you go, my sweet potato, go? I will build my love a tower And yon pure crystal fountain And on it I shall pile All the flowers of the mountain If my true love will now go Then I'll surely find another To the wild mountain thyme All across the purple heather Will you go, sugar, go? And we'll all go together To the wild mountain thyme All across the purple heather Would you go, lover, go? I will build my love a shelter By yon clean mountain stream And my true love shall be the fairest That the summer sun has ever seen And we'll all go together To the wild mountain thyme All across the purple heather Will you go, lover, go?
