My neighbor, Mary Reilly may she rest easy in Heaven, sang this song into the ground. When she passed it was like the birds' lost their voices.

This is the song I requested my dad to sing at my wedding. Cant wait!

O the summer time is comin' And the trees are sweetly bloomin' And the wild mountain thyme Grows around the bloomin' heather Will ye go Lassie Go? And we'll all go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the bloomin' heather Will ye go Lassie Go? I will build my love a bower Near yon your crystal fountain And on it I will pile All the flowers of the mountain Will ye go Lassie Go? And we'll all go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the bloomin' heather Will ye go lassie go? If my true love she won't come I'll surely find another To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the bloomin' heather Will ye go Lassie Go? And we'll all go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around the bloomin' heather Will ye go Lassie Go? O the summer time is comin' And the trees are sweetly bloomin' And the wild mountain thyme Grows around the bloomin' heather Will ye go Lassie Go? And we'll go together To pluck wild mountain thyme All around blooming heather Will ye go lassie go

I already know this is going to be another one that I play on repeat.

This is a piece my favorite choir teacher loves and did his own arrangement for his Father's funeral. We, as a choir, learned it and sang it at the end of every concert. I'm very excited to hear this!

That sudden grin at 3:35 -- oh, my word. That is a magnificently infectious smile.

I remember singing this for my girlfriend a couple years ago. In the spur of the moment and in my love and devotion for her, I only changed one line and sang to her, "I'd surely find no other." Lovely song. :D

I love this kind of stuff. This is the perfect kind of stuff for a road trip. Colm, you’ve seriously done some amazing works. I hope the Irish music doesn’t stop anytime soon.

*267 good folks watched this premiere of "Wild Mountain Thyme (Will Ye Go Lassie Go) - (Cover) Colm R. McGuinness" on Friday 28 January 2022. [may edit later as the stats come in] Stay warm, be well!*

I've heard this song in the movie, but.... This version blows it out of the water. Love it!!!

Hot damn dude, you’re on a killer streak with these.

To be honest I've never heard of this song before but I'll definately give it a try. This will be a good start into the weekend. I just hope I'll be there for the premiere at least once😅

Awesome! Most versions I've heard are either slow and somber or quick and upbeat, but I love that you made it both! Also, the higher harmonies toward the end are lovely and remind me a bit of your earlier shanties with the high-mid-low trio.

Dude I have to say, you have no idea how much I enjoy playing your songs on the background while playing Witcher 3. It just that bit of atmosphere I really enjoy.

Can't wait!!! My Friday just got even better lol

This is my absolute favourite recording of this song! This far surpasses any other recording I’ve heard! Go raibh míle!

I'm literally tearing up. So excited!

a moment for Colm for being skilled in so many instruments and singing as well

Irish & Scottish music always makes me happy😊

Sadly my friend died this summer and this was played at his funeral. I didn't know the song before that. But this is a particularly beautiful rendition of it. Thanks so much 🙏

This is one of my all time favorite songs, I can’t wait to hear you sing it!

This song always makes me cry. The moment it begins, the tears do as well. Such a beautiful version.

A fine Scottish song 💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Never heard this song before, but anything sung by you automatically turns into spun gold. So delighted to hear more folk songs from you!! Lovely vocals as always. 🥰

Wild MountainThyme … wonderful! People will feel nostalgia for Scotland, even if they haven’t been there. Always sends shivers down my spine ……and it was even better than expected! Thank you so much

I got goosebumps when the instruments joined in with those beautiful harmonies. It was also rather cute how much you enjoyed singing/playing this. That made me smile 😊

We used to sing this at school. It's a sweet song. Thyme and heather are gifts some one gives to their loved one . I send it to my man. With love.

You ever watch a movie and they have an amazing sound track and it adds literal magic to the movie as a whole? Colm has that magic.

Beautiful! My son sang this at an open mic. Audience knew it and loved it. He's introduced me to a lot of Scottish and Irish songs. And oh...SEA Chanties!

Folk Friday is my favourite day of the week... tied with Shanty Saturday when applicable 😉

I've been a lover of Irish and Scottish songs for years. It was a great pleasure to discover you. Keep on truckin'. You are an amazing singer. ^^

Oh how I do love this song. Never tire of it. Thank you Colm.

I think it would be awesome to hear a cover of Scarborough Fair! It's one of my favorite folk songs and I would love to see Colm do it justice

I've never heard this song before . It is now one of my favorites !! You brought tears to my eyes. You are incredible !

Greetings, I admire your voice and your songs, especially those of the series The Witcher, can't wait to hear this Scottish song! good luck, keep it up :)

Goosebumps and misty eyes. Lovely!

Not sure why, since I've never heard this song before, but it really struck a chord with me. Gonna be a favorite for many years to come.

I'm already obsessed. Colm and his clones have done it again! I'm playing the album on repeat, and I think this is gonna be another one.

Well, you brought quite a few tears to my eye with this one. I remember, my dad had a cassette of traditional Scottish songs, he used to play it now and then. Usually on car journeys, when we'd go out with the caravan, as I recall. This was one of them, and I haven't heard it in a long, long time now. It was beautiful. Thank you.

I just can't get enough of your voice! I'm so happy I found your channel because I love this genre so much! My "Shanties, Ballads and More" playlist is getting so long!

This is my favorite song from every artist that does it. This is so lovely!!

Very fun, upbeat, and well performed Colm! Thank you for the smiles and energy today!

Absolutely beautiful! 🥰 This one is gonna be on repeat!

Whats that, girl? Colm fell down the well and released another great Trad rendition? Come on, Lassie, let's go!

Something about your voice makes me appreciate the beautiful imagery in this song even more 😊 great job man

This was a pure delight. Ty sir I needed that smile today.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

This is truly excellent. I could listen to this every day and all day.

This is one of my favorite tunes! I love this arrangement!

I love this song, and I love your version. So well done, with the harmonies, the tempo, everything is delightful.

This is so beautiful! Thank you, Colm!

One of my favorite Celtic festivals was held at a ski resort, and at the top of the mountain, there was mountain thyme growing. It smelled heavenly.

Wowzers!!!! Fabulous 👌

This has got to be one of my favorite covers from you. As cliché as it sounds, it genuinely brought a tear to my eye! Don't ever stop being so fantastic!

This is just lovely! Well done...makes me nostalgic for days long gone by...

This might be my favourite rendition of Wild Mountain Thyme I've ever heard. I love it.

This is it, this is the song that makes me think of home no matter what the second I hear it. I'll make it back to Belfast one day.

It’s a party in the mountains! Definitely need to try roasting potatoes in the fire 🥔🔥. Hope that’s not too cliché. I really do love potatoes 😊. 🌼🌸🌼🌿

Great arrangement! The vocal parts and the instrument lines all meld beautifully. Excellent job, as usual! 🙂

Another one bites the bomb!! Colms done it again a old favorite with his great voice. Plus great playing added on like a cherry on top.

Lovely lovely lovely!

This song is so beautiful and Mr. McGuiness presentation is so good it rips my heart out. Gawd you are good.

This was so lovely. Makes me think of the fresh breezes that pull springtime along

This is so beautiful. One of my favorite songs and you’ve got an amazing voice.

I'm in love with that voice. It's so damn good! It soothe your soul! 😍 Thanks KZfaq for recommend this legend!

Keep them coming Colm. This one brought a tear to my eye. I am so proud of my handsome and talented Godson xx

Holy crap, so cool!! This song was arranged by the middle school choir teacher in my home town of Rogers Minnesota!

This made me cry as it gave a nostalgic feeling. I just sat down and remembered everyone I have lost so far. I do not know why to be honest.

Love this song! For sure one of my favourites

Wow! That was a pleasantly done. Your voice and talent is amazing 👏 😍

Crazy talent, your music talks to the soul !

This is one of the best covers I've heard. And I love this song, very much. Cheers mate 💙

I love this...beautiful.

I'm 7 songs deep of of playlist.. this will be my soundtrack while working for a while

Stupendo!

The first modern version I've heard of this one since the corries and I can say this has the same spirit but still has your own personality in it, beautifully done.

Brilliant Colm. Well done!🌹

Got the notification for the premiere too late. Dang it! This was just as good as all the other songs you sing. Thank you for blessing us all with your talent and stay handsome!

Oh my yes I absolutely adore the original!

My 4 year old boy goes to sleep to this song every night and is learning the words. It's very cute.

Lovely to hear a modern cover of this thymeless songs

Thank you for the PERFECT music Colm !!

Well done Colm. Spot on with this on as well. Added you to my Spotify lists. Keep up the great work.

Beautiful man, talented on so many instruments including his voice. Then there is the netted wear, largest collection anywhere in Ireland

I'm in a folk group that sings a lot of the songs that you've covered, and I absolutely love how you fit the other instruments in with the vocals! Definitely inspiring me to get creative with fiddle parts on these! Incredible work!!

This version goes on the favorites pile.
