A Bunch of Thyme
(Intro First Line) D A7 D

Come all you 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 it is a precious thing
And thyme brings all things to my mind
Thyme with all its labours, along with all its joys,
Thyme brings all things to my mind.

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.
Chorus
Come all you 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.

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.
Chorus
Come all you 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.
