Thread Name: Lyr/Chords Req: Wild Mountain Thyme
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Wild Mountain Thyme
The chord pattern, above, looks familiar. The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem used these verses (as close as memory serves):

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,
And we'll all go together,
To pluck wild mountain thyme,
All around the blooming heather,
Will ye go, lassie, go?

I will build my love a bower,
Near yon pure crystal fountain,
And on it I will grow,
All the flowers of the mountain,

C:

If my true love, she should go,
I would surely find another,
Where the wild mountain thyme,
Grows around the blooming heather.
