lyrics

BLOOMING HEATHER
Trad arr K Rusby
Album: Awkward Annie


Oh the Summer time 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 pull wild mountain thyme,
All around the blooming heather,
Will ye go lassie go.

I will build my love a bower,
By yon pure crystal fountain,
And on it I will pile,
All the flowers of the mountain,
Will ye go lassie go.

CHORUS

If my true love she won’t come,
I will surely find another,
To pull wild mountain thyme,
All around the blooming heather,
Will ye go lassie go.

CHORUS
