Scarborough Fair - Sandie Shaw

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
