Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
Please give my regards to one who lives there
he once was a true love of mine
Tell him to make me a cambric shirt<
Tell him to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seams nor needless work
Then he'll be a cambric shirt. >Then he'll be a true love of mine
Then he'll be a true love of mine
Tell him to find me on acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme<
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the salt water and the sea strand
Between the salt water and the sea strand
Then he'll be a true love of mine
Then he'll be a true love of mine
Tell him to reap it with a sickle of leather
Tell him to reap it (pepper, a paragraph omitted above, requires that it be sown with a peppercorn)
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Parsley, sage, Rosemary and thyme
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
Then he'll be a true love of mine
Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine
