This is a lovely song. The first of May is the first of summer in Ireland; the first of February is the first of spring; and so on. And I often did it meself: You know between the heather and the mountains there&#8217;s grass &#8211; sort of whitish-green grass growing there, called the thyme. And sometimes they thatched the roof of the houses with that, and it&#8217;s the best thatch you ever put on a house. And it&#8217;s a beautiful time of the year, as the song says.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, the summer time is coming and the leaves are sweetly blooming<br \/>\nAnd the wild mountain thyme grows among the blooming heather<br \/>\nWill you go, lassie, go? And we&#8217;ll all go together<br \/>\nTo pluck wild mountain thyme all around the blooming heather<br \/>\nWill you go, lassie, go?<\/p>\n<p>I will build my love a tower by yon pure crystal fountain<br \/>\nAnd around it I will pile all the flowers of the mountain<br \/>\nWill you go, lassie, go? And we&#8217;ll all go together<br \/>\nTo pluck wild mountain thyme all around the blooming heather<br \/>\nWill you go, lassie, go?<\/p>\n<p>If my true love, she won&#8217;t come I will surely find another<br \/>\nTo pluck wild mountain thyme among the blooming heather<br \/>\nWill you go, lassie, go? And we&#8217;ll all go together<br \/>\nTo pluck wild mountain thyme all around the blooming heather<br \/>\nWill you go, lassie, go?<\/p>\n<p>[But if ever she will come be it fair or stormy weather<br \/>\nWe&#8217;ll pluck wild mountain thyme her and I together<br \/>\nWill you go, lassie, go? And we&#8217;ll all go together<br \/>\nTo pluck wild mountain thyme all around the blooming heather<br \/>\nWill you go, lassie, go?]<\/p>\n<div class=\"n\u00f3ta\u00ed-bun-leathanaigh\">\n<h2 id=\"t:notai\">Notes<\/h2>\n<p>This song was among those recorded early on in the folk music revival by the McPeakes of Belfast. Others included The Jug of Punch and The Rare Old Mountain Dew. All of these songs were taken up by the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem during the &#8216;ballad boom&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>This song was recorded while Joe was Artist in Residence at University of Washington.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"templates\/template-full-width.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-amhrain","category-amhrain-i-mbearla"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=622"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1690,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622\/revisions\/1690"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
