Al[G]ways be[G7]ware and[C] keep your garden [D7]fair
Let [G]no man [D7]steal away your [G]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 and 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

[E]Come all ye [B]maidens young and [E]fair
And you that are[B] blooming [A]in your[B] prime
[E]Always beware and[A] keep [F#m]your garden [E]fa[Bir
Let [E]no man [B]steal away your [E]thyme
