Will Ye Go Lassie Go - The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem

The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem singing Will Ye Go Lassie Go, this version was wriiten by Francie McPeake. recorded from a vynal record.

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?

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?

And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
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?

And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie, go?

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?

I hope this tradition never dies please god. I want it to be that a thousand years from now. Long after I'm gone. That these songs still are being song and that the Irish are still as proud as they ever have been. I love this music but it has had a tough fight. The English tried to kill it and all identity of the Irish. But it made it to the 1970s and the Clancy Brothers are one major factor. And now in the 21st songs thousands of years old are still being song around the world.

@kamenski27 Well I don't really care I heard it from the Clancy Brothers and so thats who I will give to credit to in bringing the song back.

@LordHannigan --- That's just fine, except that this isn't an Irish song. Franics McPeake copied a Scottish song, 'The Braes of Balquhidder' by Robert Tannahill.

@BigBossCat Amen to that, I was brought up in an Irish household who hated the British, what a waste of time and emotion! Like or dislike someone because of who they are, not their relatives or government, thank you!!!
