We study the unified Witten–Reshetikhin–Turaev invariant for the Brieskorn homology sphere {Sigma}(2, 3, 6 p – 1) based on the cyclotomic expansion of the colored Jones polynomial for twist knot Kp. We discuss that the invariant has the same asymptotic expansion in N -> {infty} with the Ramanujan mock theta function when q is the root of unity q = exp(2 {pi}i/N), and that it can be regarded as the (6p – 1)-th order mock theta function. It is shown that it has the Hecke-type formula as in the case of the mock theta functions, though the quadratic form is positive definite while indefinite for almost all the Ramanujan mock theta functions.
