Angelo Kelly & Family - 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 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.

      I posted recently a Baez’s version of this song and you can compare. In both there is nature beauty in simple and clean forms, silence and love. Why have we abandoned these simple forms of making beauty in the music of the industry? It doesn’t need many chords, instruments, metaphors.
