Lyrics
Scarborough Fair
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.
Have him make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
without a seam or fine needlework
then he'll be a true love of mine.
Have him find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the sea and over the sand
then he'll be a true love of mine.
Love imposses impossible tasks
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
though not more than any heart asks
then he'll be a true love of mine.
Dear when thou hast finished thy task
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
come to me my hand for to ask
For thou then art a 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.
