  • Kate Rusby performs "Blooming Heather" at the 2007 Cambridge Folk Festival-Lyrics below:
    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 pull wild mountain thyme
    All around the blooming heather
    Will ye go, Lassie go?
    I will build my love a tower
    By yon' pure crystal fountain
    And on it I will pile
    All the flowers of the mountain
    Will ye go, Lassie go?
    Chorus
    And we'll all go together
    To pull 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
    To pull wild mountain thyme
    Grows around the blooming heather
    Will ye go, Lassie go?
    Chorus
    And we'll all go together
    To pull wild mountain thyme
    All around the blooming heather
    Will ye go, Lassie go?

    Kate has the most amazing, pure, humble presence about her. So completely humble and beautiful.

    Kudos to everyone involved. The band and strings did an outstanding job on that well-arranged rendition. Hell, the camerawork and videography was good too. Thank you TV4 for filming this wonderful moment. I so would like to have been there.
    I love the song since Joan Baez sang it to some friends of my mother in 1966. This song is the reason I wanted to learn to play music. Anyway, thank you Kate.

    Kate, your singing always mesmerizes me, but certain songs especially do, and this is one of them. You could sing from the phone book and it would be beautiful. Thank you for sharing your God-given talent with us.

    Such a wonderful version gives me tears and i think maybe as good as The Silencers and Rod Stewart and i don't think England or Scotland do folk the best they are equal. I love Seth Lakeman and Runrig best 2 folk artists for me

    a beautiful SCOTTISH song well done to the lassie singing it . ITS NOT AN IRISH SONG the poet who wrote it was from paisley west coast of SCOTLAND his name robert TANNAHILL

      @@andrewpaul4442 the original, lyrics by Tannahill, music by Robert Archibald Smith, was actually called "The Braes of Balquhither". You'll find it here on YT. It was 'adapted by Belfast musician Francis McPeake (1885-1971) into "Wild Mountain Thyme" and first recorded by his family in the 1950s' [wikipedia]. To my ears they're very different from each other. I presume that's why the modern song usually gets a dual Scottish/Irish nationality.

    At about 3.12 and 3.22 there are excellent examples of the power of community music. They all know the song, they all know the music and they will celebrate and pass it on to the next.

    I love this, I agree there are many versions of this great song. I also love the version by Virginia Lee ( a great South African singer). She had a hit in SA with this incredible song. Also posted on you tube
