Once I had a sprig of thyme
It prospered by night and by day
Till a false young man came a-courting to me
And he stole all my thyme away
For time it is a precious thing
And time it will grow on
Aye, and time it will bring all things to an end
Aye, and so does my thyme grow on
The gardener was standing by
And I asked him to choose for me
And he chose me the lily
Aye, the violet and the pink
Ah, but surely I refused them all three
For time it is a precious thing
And time it will grow on
Aye, and time it will bring all things to an end
Aye, and so does my thyme grow on
And it's very well a-drinking ale
And it's nice just to have a drop of wine
Ah, but I like sitting by the young man's side
That's gained this heart of mine
For time it is a precious thing
And time it will grow on
Aye, and time it will bring all things to an end
Aye, and so does my thyme grow on
And so does my thyme grow on
