A traditional song from England, Given to Foster And Allen by Christy Moore, this is the song that launched the career of Foster And Allen [ songs ], and the rest is history. If you want to play along with Foster And Allen then use the second set of chords as that's the key the boys play the song in.

[G]Come all ye [D7]maidens young and [G]fair
And you that are[Bm] blooming in your[D7] prime
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
These are the chords as played by Foster And Allen

[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
Foster And Allen
