Lyrics
Are you going to scarborough fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt (A hill in the deep forest green) Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme; (Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested brown) Without no seams nor needle work (Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain) Then she'll be a true love of mine (Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)
Tell her to find me an acre of land (On the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves) Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme; (Washes the grave with silvery tears) Between the salt water and the sea strand (A soldier cleans and polishes a gun) Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather (War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions) Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme; (Generals order their soldiers to kill) And gather it all in a bunch of heather (And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten) Then she'll be a true love of mine
Are you going to scarborough fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine
