Beautiful rendition and a beautiful voice. Thank you, Siri from across the Pond. This song never fails to bring me to tears - it shares that sense of gentle melancholy common to a lot of celtic songs.
This song was the anthem of the Folk Night at The Bell in Burwash, East Sussex in England. The Sunday night folk nights always ended with this wonderful song. Nothing like a pub full of rat arsed patrons in full voice.
don't ever lose that beautiful, natural, emotional, soaring, bright voice. My whole skin is all goosebumps from the first notes. what a beautiful, warm soul is flowing through that voice of yours.
Beautiful version. I’m from Greenock on the West coast of Scotland. It’s about people for me. Reminds me of my grandmother in the 80’s. Simpler times. Let’s go back there on your vocal time machine.xxx
I don't know why but this song really touches my soul. Ever time I ever hear it,, i guess because I took much of my youth in,the blue ridge mountians. Playing in the creeks. And across the glens. And moutiansides. Remeber the mountain laurel blooming in,the spring. Every thing comes alive in,the spring time. And well all go,together. Some day. Thanks
The lyrics are based on a Scottish custom from long ago. The girls would decide when they were “ready” to “receive” suitors. When they were, they would wear a sprig of Thyme on their lapel to tell the young men they were ready. The boys would then present a girl wearing such a sprig of Thyme with a bunch of flowers to demonstrate his interest in her. The song starts with an impatient boy who is wanting a particular girl to give him the signal. He is rushing her. He promises to heap a “bower” with flowers to show how much he loves her. The line which you mention I think is not about the landscape at all but a realisation that if one girl is not interested in him another will be. The unstoppable force of love…
@@MrRupw No, not true, Francis McPeake did not write it, he just adapted it from the original which was written by a Scot. The lyrics are a variant of the song "The Braes of Balquhither" by Scottish poet Robert Tannahill (1774-1810) and the tune was composed by Scottish composer Robert Archibald Smith (1780-1829). The lyrics are clearly of Scottish not Irish origin. They are riddled with Scottish idioms. It is not even “Traditional” it is a copyrighted song/tune which performers should pay to perform in public.
@@mfinn7185 I know the whole history of the song. The point here is when and where it was written and by whom. It was clearly written in Scotland by a Scot.
I first heard this song at a very special children's summer camp in the Northwest that my parents met at and all 3 of us my brother and myself and sister went to every summer.
Nice version of my favourite song (I’m an exiled Scot). Id like to suggest that folks should also listen to the Corries live version wherein audience participation is so unbelievably good, almost like a choir backing up two incredibly gifted (former) troubadours… the CORRIES. Cheers 🥃
Hi Gordon, have listened to the Corries yeah unbelievable. First heard this thanks to the Byrds back in 65.Heard many versions over the years but no matter, such a beautiful song hits home every time. You'r never exiled pal, once a flower always a flower. Stay safe
Great interpretation, Thanks. There's also a 4th verse. The lyric was penned by poet Robert Tannahill from my home town here in Paisley, western Scotland. My mum lived on Tannahill's Street.... obviously not at the same time. Tannahill was a friend of Robert Burns. Sadly he committed suicide.
Sounds like you might know a bit about folk music of Scotland. I've been trying to find someone who might have heard some of Evan McColl's songs or put his poetry to music. Have you heard of the Mountain Minstrel? Sorry for my sideways comment but I know that Evan was a bit of a Robbie Burns fan.
This was a really good performance for this tune. I'd mostly heard it being sung by drunkin' Scots, English and Irish folks. Your version was one of the better versions. Thanks Kiddo!
Very lovely song indeed and a true Irish classic. I play this in G on my harmonica nice and slow. It is truly a beautiful song that takes your heart and mind to one of my favorite countries.
@@ObePawnKenobi and you say the Melody is based on it ?? Have you heard Braes of Balquhither, please tell me where ? the melody is based on an old Scottish traditional tune The Three Carls o' Buchanan!
Another Scottish song that the Irish try to steal and claim it as their own. The word “lassie” generates from Scotland and Northern England - bit of a giveaway !!!
Will Ye Go Lassie Go The Corries O the summer time has come And the trees are sweetly bloomin' The wild mountain thyme Grows around the bloomin' heather Will ye go, lassie, go? And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme All around the bloomin' heather Will ye go, lassie, go? I will build my love a bower By yon cool crystal fountain And 'round it I will pile All the wild flowers o' the mountain Will ye go, lassie, go? And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme All around the bloomin' heather Will ye go, lassie, go? I will range through the wilds And the deep glen sae dreary And return wi' their spoils To the bower o' my dearie Will ye go, lassie, go? And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme All around the bloomin' heather Will ye go, lassie, go? If my true love she'll not come Then I'll surely find another To pull wild mountain mountain thyme All around the bloomin' heather Will ye go, lassie, go? And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme All around the bloomin' heather Will ye go, lassie, go? And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme All around the bloomin' heather Will ye go, lassie, go?
This song cover is everywhere but no one does it with a Scottish video, it's the Flower Of Scotland the purple Scottish thistle. I love Being A Scottish man and bagpiper
This is one of my favorite songs, tbh. However, I've never heard a rendition with pluck or around but always pull and among. That threw me off, but she has a lovely voice.
Thee definitive version of this is the Corries the one with the audience comin in ... Roy Williamson and Luke Kelly the best ballad singers this here word has ever seen ...
Hi Ernest! I'm not sure this comment is fair. First, note that in the description, there's a time stamp for "song begins at 2:48". So you can easily skip the talking. Second, you'll notice that this is from a live show. Part of a live show is banter with the audience. The audience appreciated the introduction, which is why I left it in. This video is intended to put you in the place of an audience member. It's not a music video. And again, if you don't want to hear the intro, it's easy to skip ahead with the time stamp in the description.
Here’s another rendition which stunned the Shrewsbury Folk Festival (UK) audience this year. It’s sung by a wee Scottish girl artist, Nati, who briefly joined the stage where the Longest Johns were performing.

I rarely post any comments, only if I consider what I hear to be unbeatable, thank you.
It has been 7 years since my aunt's funeral and this powerful song can still reduce me to a blubbering puddle of tears.
Beautiful rendition and a beautiful voice. Thank you, Siri from across the Pond. This song never fails to bring me to tears - it shares that sense of gentle melancholy common to a lot of celtic songs.
What a stunningly beautiful voice Siri has. Love this version.
God bless Scotland and Northern Ireland.
What about the rest of Ireland?
Got bless all of Ireland, not just the protties
What's an orange planter doing with a picture of our lady ? I thought you only believed in Kings and Queens
Respect from the Celtic Pagans of Eire. Thanks for your beautiful voice. Slainte Saor agus Saoirse

I do like her voice with this song

We used stand around the bar singing this beautiful song with my Scottish and Irish friends - fond memories.
Something beautiful and charming about this old Scottish/Irish folk song.
Always a big yes please do not go without me ❤❤
My fav will always be the corries singing it but this is a fantastic singer ,absolutely beautiful voice
WOW, what a voice. Came across this while listening to Ed Sheeran and Passenger, and I could listen to her voice all night. So pure.
Love the Tempo, love the extraordinary Voice, love you for sharing! ❤
Her voice is golden, love this, a treasure!
Beautiful version thankyou...love from Scotland.
Beautiful version. I’m from Greenock on the West coast of Scotland. It’s about people for me. Reminds me of my grandmother in the 80’s. Simpler times. Let’s go back there on your vocal time machine.xxx
Scotland a lovely land greetings from southern ireland,
Not much bloomin' heather in Greenock.
Tears tears tears, life goes by so fast.....loved it
Very true - it goes far too fast. Slainte !
You're right, it does. I hope we can all meet one day and have nice time talking some time
Watching on St. Paddy's 2021, hoping COVID lockdown allows travel this year so we can fall in love with new landscapes. What a lovely voice.
I don't know why but this song really touches my soul. Ever time I ever hear it,, i guess because I took much of my youth in,the blue ridge mountians. Playing in the creeks. And across the glens. And moutiansides. Remeber the mountain laurel blooming in,the spring. Every thing comes alive in,the spring time. And well all go,together. Some day. Thanks
Same. Tears nearly everytime I hear it.
What a lovely voice singing one of my favorite songs!
"Ah, it's not about a person, it's about a landscape" lol)) So true)
Beautiful voice, great cover!
Tears of joy...thank you so much for this beautiful rendition
Was introduced in 1966 by the Byrds to this wonderful song Thank you! Roger, Gene, David, Chris and Michael
So was I. 😊
Her voice vibrates my heart strings. She owns this song like Patsy Cline owned “Crazy”. Well done.

It's not a Scottish song it was written by Francie McPeake who was from Belfast, his family still perform this a few generations on

Great
WOW!
Will Ye Go Lassie Go
The Corries
O the summer time has come
And the trees are sweetly bloomin'
The wild mountain thyme
Grows around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
I will build my love a bower
By yon cool crystal fountain
And 'round it I will pile
All the wild flowers o' the mountain
Will ye go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
I will range through the wilds
And the deep glen sae dreary
And return wi' their spoils
To the bower o' my dearie
Will ye go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
If my true love she'll not come
Then I'll surely find another
To pull wild mountain mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
Goodsebumps is right.
Missed a verse “ I will roam the country o'er
Through that dark glens so dreary;
And all the spoils I find,
I'll bring to my darling dearie”
❤❤ A BiG BIG YES
I have been living under a rock. Thank you!

Ekspresi indahmu.. menghanyutkan.. melodi yg indah👍🕊️🏞️✨
That was wonderful. She made that song as much American as much as it is Scottish.
"Siri, play my favorite song, Wild Mountain Thyme"
This is one of my favorite songs, tbh. However, I've never heard a rendition with pluck or around but always pull and among. That threw me off, but she has a lovely voice.
I have only heard it with “pull”, but I think I like “pluck” better.
Thee definitive version of this is the Corries the one with the audience comin in ... Roy Williamson and Luke Kelly the best ballad singers this here word has ever seen ...
Just to point out this classic is based on a Scottish song adapted and written by an Irishman
Ithink it was written by Francie macpeake from northern ireland one of the macpeake folk group,
Danny Boy was written by an Englishman.
Molly Malone was written by a Scotsman...
теплая песня, я люблю её
I think we should welcome her in as an honorary Celt
As Eli Wallace said in the movie The Good the Bad and the Ugly said SHOOT SHOOT NOT TALK Thats the reason I say SING SING NOT TALK.
