about

This is a strange love song, as it is one of surviving your mate. It is a song of loving life so much that after such a loss you are determined to go on and find another with which to "pick wild mountain thyme".

lyrics

The summer time is coming,
And the trees are gently blooming,
And the wild mountain thyme,
Grows around the blooming heather.

(Chorus)
Will you go lassie go,
And will all go together,
To pluck wild mountain thyme,
All around the blooming heather.
Will you, lassie go?

I will build my love a tower,
Upon yon pure crystal fountain,
And on it I will build,
All the flowers of the mountain.

(Chorus)

If my love she were gone,
I would surely find another,
To pluck wild mountain thyme,
All around the blooming heather.

(chorus)

about

James Olin Oden Raleigh, North Carolina

It's always been about what moves the heart. The songs I sing are compelling stories whose telling must be told over and over again. The stories range from dark acts that should not be forgotten to the silly revelries that we should never forsake. My hope is that as my heart is moved by the music so too may yours be moved.
