The Sprig of Thyme Lyrics by Coope, Boyes and Simpson

What We Sing Is What We Are

0

[Verse]
Once I had a sprig of thyme
It prospered by night and by day
Til a false young man came a-courting to me
And he stole all me thyme away
[Chorus]
For Thyme, it is a precious thing
And thyme it will grow on
Aye and thyme it will bring all things to an end
And so does my thyme grow on
[Verse]
The gardener was standing by
And I asked him to choose for me
And he chose me the lily, aye, the violet and the pink
Ah, but surely I refused them all three
[Chorus]
For Thyme, it is a precious thing
And thyme it will grow on
Aye and thyme it will bring all things to an еnd
And so does my thyme grow on
[Verse]
It's very wеll drinking ale
And it's nice just to have a drop of wine
Ah but I like sitting by the young man's side
That gained this heart of mine
[Chorus]
For Thyme, it is a precious thing
And thyme it will grow on
Aye and thyme it will bring all things to an end
Aye and so does my thyme grow on
And so does my thyme grown on
