Thread Name: Wild Mountain Thyme - Why doesn't it rhyme
Subject: RE: Wild Mountain Thyme - Why doesn't it rhyme
I have no comment about the rhyme scheme but I do have a vivid memory of hearing the song for the first time. I'm almost certain that Peace (Bruce Murdoch) did a powerful open D or D modal version of this song in his sets circa 1965 - 1967. It was one of his big numbers along with Love One Another and Walking Down The Line.
