    The song
    "Wild Mountain Thyme" (also known as "Purple Heather" and "Will Ye Go, Lassie, Go?") is a Scottish/Irish folk song. The lyrics and melody are a variant of the song "The Braes of Balquhither" by Scottish poet Robert Tannahill (1774–1810) and Scottish composer Robert Archibald Smith (1780–1829), but were adapted by Belfast musician Francis McPeake (1885–1971) into "Wild Mountain Thyme" and first recorded by his family in the 1950s.

    The lyrics
    Oh, the summertime is coming
    And the trees are sweetly blooming
    And the wild mountain thyme
    Grows around the blooming heather
    Will you go, lassie, go?
    And we'll all go together
    To pull wild mountain thyme
    All around the blooming heather
    Will you go, lassie, go?
    And we'll all go together
    To pull wild mountain thyme
    All around the blooming heather
    Will you go, lassie, go?
    I will build my love a tower
    By yon clear and crystal fountain
    And on it, I will pile
    All the flowers of the mountain
    Will you go, lassie, go?
    And we'll all go together
    To pull wild mountain thyme
    All around the blooming heather
    Will you go, lassie, go?
    If my true love, he won't have me
    I will surely find another
    To pull wild mountain thyme
    All around the blooming heather
    Will you go, lassie, go?
    And we'll all go together
    To pull wild mountain thyme
    All around the blooming heather
    Will you go, lassie, go?
    Go, lassie go?
    And we'll all go together
    To pull wild mountain thyme
    All around the blooming heather
    Will you go, lassie, go?
    And we'll all go together
    To pull wild mountain thyme
    All around the blooming heather
    Will you go, lassie, go?
