Scarborough Faire

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 up 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
Tell her to to 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
Have her reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Gather it up 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 true love of mine
When thou has finished thy task
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Come to me my hand for to ask
For then you'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to dry it on yonder thorn
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Which never bore blossom since Adam was born
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Ask her to do me this courtesy
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
And ask for a like favor from me
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Have you been to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me from one who lives there
For he once was a true love of mine
When he has done and finished his work
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Ask him to come for his cambric shirt
For then he'll be a true love of mine
