We were asked by lifelong friends, Sam and Drew, to record this for their wedding. It’s the only existing recording with a “Bayne/Quigg/McCalman” lineup, so I think it qualifies.
—Ian McCalman
[Verse 1]
Oh the summer time is comin'
And the trees are sweetly bloomin'
And the wild mountain thyme
O'er the moorland is perfumin'
Will you go, lassie, go?
[Chorus]
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will you go, lassie, go?
[Verse 2]
I will build my love a bough
By yon clear, crystal fountain
And on it I will pile
All the flowers of the mountain
Will you go, lassie, go?
[Chorus]
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will you go, lassie, go?
[Verse 3]
If my true love, she were gone
I would surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will you go, lassie, go?
[Chorus]
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will you go, lassie, go?
Will you go, lassie, go?
