Scarborough Fair

Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine
Tell him to buy me a cambric skirt
(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 he’ll be a true love of mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)
Tell him to find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine.
(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 he’ll be a true love of mine
