O the springtime is a-coming
And the leaves are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows among the purple heather
Will you go, mama, go
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All across the purple heather
Will you go, my sweet potato, go
I will build my love a tower
By yon crystal flowing fountain
And on it i shall pile
All the flowers of the mountain
If my true love will not go
Then i'll surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All across the purple heather
Will you go, sugar, go
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All across the blooming heather
Will you go, lover, go
I will build my love a shelter
By yon clear mountain stream
And my true love shall be the fairest
That the summer sun has ever seen
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All across the blurple heather
Will you go, lover, go
