Wild Mountain Thyme

Location: Castle Crag, Lake District
Recording date: 18th May 2019
Lyrics:
–Chorus–
“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?
–Verse 1–
Oh the summer time is coming
And the trees are sweetly blooming
Where the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
–Verse 2–
I will build my love a bower
And yon pure crystal fountain
And on it I will pile
All the flowers of the mountain
–Verse 3–
If my true love were gone
I will never find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather”

I hear hurricanes a-blowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers over flowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
Don’t go ’round tonight

I hope you got your things together
I hope you are quite prepared to die
Look’s like we’re in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye”

“Dear native regions, I foretell
From what I feel at this farewell
That, wheresoe’er my steps may tend
And whensoe’er my course shall end
If in that hour a single tie
Survive of local sympathy
My soul will cast the backward view
The longing look alone on you
Thus, while the Sun sinks down to rest
Far in the regions of the west
Though to the vale no parting beam
Be given, not one memorial gleam
A lingering light he fondly throws
On the dear hills where first he rose
My soul will cast the backward view
The longing look alone on you”

“Fellowship of hill and wind and sunshine
Upon this mountain summit we are met today
To dedicate this space of hills to freedom
Upon this rock are set the names of men
Our brothers and our comrades upon these cliffs
Who held with us
That there is no freedom of the soil
where the spirit of man is in bondage
And who surrendered their part
In the fellowship of hill and wind and sunshine
That the freedom of this land
The freedom of our spirit should endure”
