Scarborough Fair

Melodie

1. Are you going to Scarborough Fair?   Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
   Remember me to one who lives there   For once she was a true love of mine
2. Have her make me a cambric shirt   Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
   Without no seam nor fine needle work   And then she'll be a true love of mine
3. Tell her to weave it in a sycamore wood lane   Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
   And gather it all with a basket of flowers   And then she'll be a true love of mine
4. Have her wash it in yonder dry well   Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
   where water ne'er sprung nor drop of rain fell   And then she'll be a true love of mine
5. Have her find me an acre of land   Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
   Between the sea foam and over the sand   And then she'll be a true love of mine
6. Plow the land with the horn of a lamb   Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
   Then sow some seeds from north of the dam   And then she'll be a true love of mine
7. Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather   Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
   And gather it all in a bunch of heather   And then she'll be a true love of mine
8. If she tells me she can't, I'll reply   Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
   Let me know that at least she will try   And then she'll be a true love of mine
9. 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
10. Dear, when thou has 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
