Oh the Summer-time has come....

Well, not really, yet. It sure feels like it. On my walk yesterday, I had one of my favorite spring time tunes in my head. It's a RARE song to hear as its an Old Celtic Scottish song. (As my family has a lot of Scottish history, this might explin why I love it so!) So, guess my surprise when, at work today, here comes the owner of the company I work for walking down the hall WHISTLING IT!!!

Oh, the summer-time has come
And the trees are sweetly bloomin'
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the purple heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?

Refrain:
And we'll all go together,
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather;
Will ye go, lassie, go?

I will build my love a tower
By yon pure, crystal fountain,
And it's there I will bring
All the flowers of the mountain;
Will ye go, lassie, go?

Refrain

I will range through the wilds
And the deep land so dreary
And return with the spoils
To the bower o' my dearie;
Will ye go, lassie, go?

Refrain

If my true love will not come
I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the purple heather;
Will ye go, lassie, go?

Refrain

Oh, the autumn-time is comin'
And the leaves will soon be fallin',
And the blossoms o' the summer
Will soon wither on the mountain;
Will ye go, lassie, go?

Refrain
