Will You Go Lassie Go - Joan Baez, Edinburgh 1965

 

Oh, the summertime is comin'

And the trees are sweetly bloomin'

And the wild mountain thyme

Grows around the purple heather

Will you go? Lassie, will you go?

And we'll all go together

To pick wild mountain thyme

All around the purple heather

Will you go? Lassie, will you go?

I will build my love a tower

By yon pure and crystal fountain

Yes and on it I will lay

All the flowers of the mountain

Will you go? Lassie, will ya go?

      Just a woman with a guitar that has a voice of an angel and an audience with no cell phones just enjoying that moment and singing along with her. Lucky people. Her voice is so pure and so crystal clear. What a stunning rendition of this beautiful Irish-Scottish folk song. Thank you Joan for all those years, for your political things you’ve done and most of all for all of your music!
