          G         C     G   C
Well the summertime, has gone,
                           G
and the leaves are gently turnin'.
C                    G       Am
And my love I wanna take you,
                      C
to the place, heart-a-yearnin'.
G         C   G
Will you go, lassie go?

Chorus:
C                   G
And we'll all go together,
C                      G
in the wild mountain thyme.
Am                       C
All around the blooming heather.
G         C G
Will you go?

And I will build my love a tower
At the foot of yonder mountain
And visit by the hour
From a lonely wooden tower
Will you go, lassie, go?

Chorus:
And we'll all go together
In the wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Come on

At the foot of yonder mountain
I will visit by the hour
With the lily of the valley
Go, will you go, lassie, go?

Chorus:
And we'll all go together
In the wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will you go, lassie, go?

Will you go?
Will you go, will you go?
Will you go, lassie, go?
