G D G (C D7 G) Thyme it is a precious thing
G A A7 D D7 (And)Thyme brings all things to my mind
G G7 C D D7 Thyme with all its labours, along with all its joys
G D D7 G (C D7 G) Thyme, brings all things to an end.
G D D7 G (C D7 G) Once I had a bunch of thyme
G A A7 D D7 I thought it never would decay
G G7 C D D7 Until a handsome sailor, he happened to pass by
G D D7 G (C D7 G) And he stole my bunch of thyme away
G D G (C D7 G) My love, my love is like the sun
G A A7 D D7 In the pleasant month of June
Continues after the ad
G G7 C D D7 Now I am like a sun that wonders up and down
G D D7 G (C D7 G) But you my love are like the moon Chorus
G D G (C D7 G) In June there's a red and rosy bush
G A A7 D D7 The sharpest thorns are at its heart
G G7 C D D7 Never put your hand in to pick those pretty flowers
G D D7 G (C D7 G) Or else you'll surely feel the smart.
G D G (C D7 G) When I wore my apron low
G A A7 D D7 He followed me through frost and snow
G G7 C D D7 And now that I wear my apron to my chin
G D D7 G (C D7 G) He sails on by and says nothing. Chorus
G D G (C D7 G) There is an ale house in the town
G A A7 D D7 Where my true lover sits him down
G G7 C D D7 You can see him take those flash girls and sit then on his knee
G D D7 G (C D7 G) And never ever mention me.
G D G (C D7 G) Love, oh love, oh careless love
G A A7 D D7 Love, oh love, oh careless love
G G7 C D D7 See him take those flash girls and sit them on his knee
G D D7 G (C D7 G) Can't you see what love has done to me. Final Chorus: (Unaccompanied) Thyme it is a precious thing Thyme brings all things to my mind
G G7 C D D7 Thyme with all its labours, along with all its joys
G D D7 G (C D7 G) Thyme, brings all things to an end.
