Scarborough Fair Lyrics

Scarborough Fair lyrics

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme

Remember me to one who lives there

She once was a true love of mine



Tell her to make me a cambric shirt



(On the side of a hill
in the deep forest green)

Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme

(Tracing a
sparrow on snow-crested ground)

Without no seams nor needlework

(Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains)

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)

Parsely, sage, rosemary, & thyme

(Washed is the ground with
so many 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 in a sickle of leather



(War bellows, blazing
in scarlet battalions)

Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme

(Generals
order their soldiers to kill)

And to 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 & thyme

Remember me to one who lives
there

She once was a true love of mine.
