An old Irish/Scottish song of about love, and getting over it pretty quickly
Artist picture
Solo acoustic folk, with a bit of celtic music thrown in for good measure.
I do mostly acoustic folk music as well as some celtic music. I value well-crafted songs, with solid lyrics and a good melody line. Musicality - harmonies, interesting guitar work - draws me into a song, so I try to bring these qualities into my own music. You can find out more about me at .

Story behind the song
Another traditional song I've loved since I was a child. There are two versions I've heard - one, the person will never find another if their lover leaves. The other, the person gets over it pretty quickly and moves on. I guess I've always leaned toward the latter version.
Lyrics
Oh the Summertime is comin' And the trees are sweetly bloomin' And the Wild Mountain Thyme Grows around the purple heather Will ye go, Lassie, go? Chorus: And we'll all go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the bloomin' heather Will ye go, Lassie, go? I will build my love a bower Near 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 he were gone I would surely find another Where the wild mountain thyme Grows around the bloomin' heather Will ye go, Lassie, go? Chorus Repeat first verse and chorus
