kathy & carol – sprig of thyme lyrics
once i had a sprig of thyme
it grew both night and day
till the false young man came a+courting to me
and he stole all my thyme away
so now my thyme is all gone
and i cannot plant any new
for the very place where my thyme used to grow
is all over+run with rue all away
the gardener was standing by
and i asked him to choose for me
he chose for me the primrose, the violet and the vine
but i did them overlook all three
the primrose i did not like
because it flowered so soon
the violet, and vine i did overlook
and i vowed i stopped in june sky
in june there’s a red rosy bud
but that’s not the flower for me;
for oftentimes i’ve plucked at the red rosy bud
and gained the willow tree
green willow it will twist
green willow it will twine
i wish that i was safe all in that young man’s arms
that stole away my thyme
