Scarborough FAIRE 
words and music Traditional
Are you going to Scarborough Faire?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Remember me to one who lived there.
She once was a true love of mine.
Have her make me a cambric shirt.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Without no seams, nor fine needle work.
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
Tell her to weave it in a sycamore wood lane.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Gather it all in a basket of flowers.
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
Have her wash it in yonder dry well.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Where water ne'er sprung, nor drop of rain fell.
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
Have her find me an acre of land.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Between the sea foam and
over the sand.
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
Plow the land with the horn of a lamb.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Then sow some seeds from north of the dam.
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Gather it all in a bunch of heather.
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
if she tells me she can't, then I'll reply.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Let me know, that at least she will try.
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
Love imposes impossible tasks.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Though not more than any heart asks.
And I must know she's a true love of mine.
Dear when thou has finished thy task.
Parsley, sage, rosemary an d thyme.
Come to me my hand for to ask.
For then thou art a true love of mine.
