Wild Mountain Thyme Oh the summertime is coming And the trees are sweetly blooming And the wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather Will ye go, Lassie go? Chorus And we'll all go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the blooming heather Will ye go, Lassie go? I will build my love a tower Near yon' pure crystal fountain And on it I will build All the flowers of the mountain Will ye go, Lassie go? If my true love she were gone I would surely find another Where wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather Will ye go, Lassie go?

Far awa' tae bonnie Scotland Has my spirit ta'en its flight, An' I saw my mither spinnin' In our Highland hame at night; I saw the kye a browsing My father at the plough, And the grand auld hills aboon them a', Wad I could see them now! Oh! leddy, while upon your knees, Ye held my sleepin' head, I saw the little Kirk at hame, Where Tam and I were wed; I heard the tune the pipers played, I kenn'd its rise and fa'. 'Twas the wild Macgregor's slogan- 'Tis the grandest o' them a'. (Soft music of distant march of Highlanders) Hark! surely I'm no wildly dreamin' For I hear it plainly now - Ye cannot, ye never heard it On the far off mountain's brow; For in your southern childhood, Ye were nourish'd saft and warm, Nor watch'd upon the cauld hillside The risin' o' the storm. Ay! now the soldiers hear it, An' answer with a cheer, As 'The Campbells are a comin' Falls on anxious ear. The cannon's roar'd their thunder, And the sappers work in vain, For high aboon the din o' war Resounds the welcome strain. (Music of Highlanders advancing) An' nearer still, an' nearer still, An now again 'tis 'Auld Lang Syne' It's kindly notes like life bluid rin, Rin through this puir sad heart o' mine; Oh! leddy dinna swoon awa'! Look up! the evil's past, They're comin' now to dee wi' us, Or save us at the last. Then let us humbly, thankfully, Down on our knees and pray, For those who come thro' bluid and fire, To rescue us this day. That He may o'er them spread His shield, Stretch forth His arm and save Bold Havelock and his Highlanders, The bravest o' the brave!

O Flower of Scotland, When will we see Your likes again, That fought and died for, Your wee bit Hill and Glen, And stood against them, Proud Edward's Army, And sent them homeward, Tae think again. The Hills are bare now, And Autumn leaves lie thick and still, O'er land that is lost now, Which those so dearly held, That stood against them, Proud Edward's Army, And sent them homeward, Tae think again. Those days are past now, And in the past they must remain, But we can still rise now, And be a nation again, That stood against them, Proud Edward's Army, And sent them homeward, Tae think again. 0 Flower of Scotland, When will we see your likes again, That fought and died for, Your wee bit Hill and Glen, And stood against them, Proud Edward's Army, And sent them homeward, Tae think again.
