Not to piss of the actual Ed Sheeran fans here but.. I would actually listen to that.

One of the great things about Sheeran is that he takes beautiful old traditional songs, like this and “The Parting Glass”, and makes them cool for young people to listen to. They’d probably never hear them otherwise. And maybe it gives them an appetite for more great older music. He also has a wonderful voice, of course.

He did a great job with The Parting Glass

I appreciate people who love this type of music. It is so Nostalgic like I just want to sit by the river or watching a sunset and sing this song while strumming my guitar.

Ed and Jensen both do this song so amazingly love them both so much!

the way ed's voice softens at "thyme" makes me feel really good inside.

chelc848 The way he says Blooming is great. And I like the way he says Heather (that's my name)

Oh the summer time is coming And the trees are sweetly blooming Where the wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather Would you go, lassie, go? And we'll all go together Where the wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather Would you go, lassie, go? And I will build my love a bower And yon pure crystal fountain And around it I will place All the colors of the mountain Would you go, lassie, go? And we'll all go together Where the wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather Would you go, lassie, go? And If my true love's gone I will surely find another And to her I will sing Things that make her know I want her Would you go, lassie, go? And we'll all go together Where the wild mountain thyme Grows around blooming heather Would you go, lassie, go?

I Like it, Wild Mountain Thyme" (also known as "Purple Heather" and "Will Ye Go, Lassie, Go?") is a folk song written by Francis McPeake, a member of a well known musical family in Belfast, Ireland, and of Scottish origin.[1] McPeake's lyrics are a variant of the song "The Braes of Balquhither" by Scottish poet Robert Tannahill (1774-1810), a contemporary of Robert Burns. Tannahill's original song, first published in Robert Archibald Smith's Scottish Minstrel (1821-24), is about the hills (braes) around Balquhidder nearLochearnhead. Like Burns, Tannahill collected and adapted traditional songs, and "The Braes of Balquhither" may have been based on the traditional song "The Braes o' Bowhether".

This song's really important to me because my class used to sing it when we were in grade 4 and we sang it to the class who graduated last year witch contained some of my best friends, and now when ever I hear this song it makes me incredibly sad but it's a really beautiful.

This has long been my favorite folk song, and Ed’s version is my favorite! Truly smashing just him and a guitar. Lovely! I would be overjoyed if he ever released a folk album!

This is officially my new favourite song ever

I am curious as to what people here consider the 'original' version? It is basically an, at least, 200 year old folk song from Scotland which has slowly been edited and adapted by countless artists. You can have favorite versions, but an 'original' version is not something I think we can know. What are these better versions? I fancy a listen to see if I agree.
