sprig of thyme

Singer:staves, the

once i had a sprig of thyme

it grew both night and day

till a false young man came

a'courting to me

and he stole all

my thyme away

time it is a precious thing

and time it will grow on

and time will bring

all things to an end

and so does my time grow on

once i had a sprig of thyme

it grew both night and day

till a false young man came

a'courting to me

and he stole all

my thyme away

time it is a precious thing

and time it will grow on

and time will bring

all things to an end

and so my time grows on
