Alpine Love

There are many regional variations in lyrics of the folk classic Wild Mountain Thyme, so I thought I would modify the lyrics even moreso:

I built my love a bower
Beside a sparklin’ fountain
And carpeted the ground
With every flower of the mountain
Will ye go, lassie, go?
And we’ll always be together
Having a wild mountain time
Among the bloomin’ heather
Will ye go, lassie, go?
 
My true love would not go
And wounded me severely
Acting so unkind
Though we had loved each other dearly
Will ye go, lassie, go?
Can you prove yourself better?
Show me a wild mountain time
Make me forget I ever met her
Will ye go, lassie, go?
 
I built my love a bower
Beside a sparklin’ fountain
And carpeted the ground
With every flower of the mountain
Will ye go, lassie, go?
Don’t ignore my letter
Taking your wild mountain time
Who else will make me feel better?
Don’t ye go, lassie, go
