G5      D5                 G5
Come all ye maidens young and fair
     G5            B5              D5
And you that are blooming in your prime
G5         G5       C5                D5
Always beware and keep your garden fair
    G5       D5             G5
Let no man steal away your thyme
    G5        D5              G5
For thyme it is a precious thing
    G5            B5                D5
And thyme brings all things to my mind
G5                   G5          C5                 D5
Thyme with all its flavours*, along with all its joys
G5              D5               G5
Thyme, brings all things to my mind
G5       D5               G5
Once I had a bunch of thyme
  G5            B5         D5
I thought it never would decay
     G5             G5          C5                 D5
Then came a lusty sailor, who chanced to pass my way
     G5        D5              G5
And stole my bunch of thyme away
     G5      D5            G5
The sailor gave to me a rose
  G5          B5           D5
A rose that never would decay
   G5          G5     C5         D5
He gave it to me to keep me reminded
    G5       D5              G5
Of when he stole my thyme away
