Traditional song arranged by Andy Gordon and Syd Green
lyrics
Summertime is coming
the trees are sweetly blooming
wild mountain thyme
grows around the blooming heather
will you go Patye, go?
and we’ll all go together
where the wild mountain thyme
grows around the blooming heather
I’ll build my love a bower
near yon pure crystal fountain
and on it I will pile
all the flowers from the mountains
will you go Patye, go?
and we’ll all go together
where the wild mountain thyme
grows around the blooming heather
If my true love she were gone
I would surely find another
I would sail across the ocean
till I found the blooming heather
will you go Patye, go?
and we’ll all go together
where the wild mountain thyme
grows around the blooming heather
A silence had descended
‘till White started whistling
“Marlbrooke gone to war”
and you all sang along
will you go Patye, go
and we’ll all go together
where the wild mountain thyme
grows around the blooming heather
will you go Patye, go?

Thanks to records like this and the output of other artists like Jake Xerxes Fussell and Kaia Kater, I'm slowly recuperating the time I wasted overlooking American folk music and country. Ben Harris
Inspired by John Carpenter’s 1974 film “Dark Star,” the beautifully moody songs on this LP present a voyage into the unknown. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 21, 2021
