This is a song I heard for the first time tonight at a concert performance. I was rather amused after listening to this song being sung with such a straight face and was the only one trying very hard not to laugh. I suppose you'll know why after you've seen the lyrics.
Come all ye maidens young and fair
And you that are blooming in your prime
Always beware and keep your garden fair
Let no man steal away your thyme
For thyme it is a precious thing
And thyme brings all things to my mind
Thyme with all its flavours, along with all its joys
Thyme, brings all things to my mind
Once, she had a bunch of thyme
She thought it never would decay
Then came a saucy sailor
Who chanced to pass her way
And stole her bunch of thyme away
For thyme it is a precious thing
And thyme brings all things to my mind
Thyme with all its flavours, along with all its joys
Thyme, brings all things to my mind
The sailor gave to her a rose
A rose that never would decay
He gave it to her to keep her reminded
Of when he stole her thyme away
For thyme it is a precious thing
And thyme brings all things to my mind
Thyme with all its flavours, along with all its joys
Thyme, brings all things to my mind
I don't suppose we're still talking about 'thyme', are we? Snigger. Naughty me. Still, a very entertaining, though albeit risqué song, in its own right. (^_^)
