Bunch of Thyme

Traditional Irish Folk Song




Performed by Darren Holden

Come all ye maidens young and fair
All you that are blooming in your prime
Always beware and keep your garden fair
Let no man steal away your thyme

For thyme is a precious thing
And thyme brings all things to my mind
Thyme with all its labors along with all its joys
And thyme brings all things to an end


Once I had a bunch of thyme
I thought it never would decay
Then came a lusty sailor who chanced to pass my way
He stole my bunch of thyme away

The sailor gave to me a rose
A rose that never would decay
He gave it to me to keep me reminded
Of when he stole my thyme away.
