LYRICS :

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 flavours, 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
And stole my bunch of thyme away

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.

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

Once I Had a Bunch of Thyme

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 flavours, 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
And stole my bunch of thyme away

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.

So 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 flavours, along with all its joys
Thyme brings all things to an end.


백리향 그대


오라! 그대 젊은날 내 고운 님이시여
온갖 꽃 화알짝 피어나는 모습으로
그대의 백리향 뭇 사내가 엿볼지라
잘 지켜요 항상 그대의 고운 꽃밭을

백리향 그대는 내 소중한 꽃이라오
온갖 향기 온갖 기쁨으로
그대의 백리향 나의맘 가득 차올라
내 꿈의 모든 것은 백리향 그대

언젠가 백리향 한다발을 가슴에 안았었네
영원히 피어 있으라 기도하고 또 기도했네
그런 어느날 한 뱃군이 내길을 지나갔네
왕성한 그가 나의 백리향 다발 훔쳤갔네

그 뱃군은 장미 한송이를 내게 주었지
영영 시들지 않을 장미 한 송이를
내 백리향을 훔친 것을 기억하라고
그는 내개 장미 한송이를 주었다네

내게로 오라 그대 고운날 내 님이시여
온갖 꽃 화알짝 피어나는 모습으로
그대의 백리향 뭇 사내가 엿볼지라
잘 지켜요 항상 그대의 고운 꽃밭을

백리향 그대는 내 소중한 꽃이라오
그대의 백리향 내맘 가득 실어오네
온갖 향기 온갖 기쁨으로 내게 와주오
영원영원 내 꿈의 모든 것 백리향 그대

I think it's very important to keep your garden fair. Never, never trust anyone with your thyme, ....mint they can have that, maybe orgegano, but not thyme.

[MrTaylor]

A warning to all you girls out there, beware of lusty sailors looking to steal your bunch of thyme 😂😂😂

[MrAaronvee]

Only a woman, or a gay man, can sing this song.
