Lyrics
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
For once he was a true love of mine.
Tell him to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seams nor needle work
And he shall be the true love of mine.
Tell him to wash it in yonder dry
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Where water sprungand rain never fell
And he shall be the true love of mine.
Tell him to buy me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between salt water and the sea sand
And then he’ll be the true love of mine.
[Tell him to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
And then he’ll be the true love of mine.]
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to the one who lives there
For once he was a true love of mine.
