Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley,
sage, rosemary and thyme

Remember me to one who lives there,
she once was a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
.

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

Without no seams nor needlework

then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to find me an acre of land,

.
Parsley, sage, rosemary
and thyme

Between the salt water and the sea strand
,

.
then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather,

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme

And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
,

.
then she'll be a true love of mine
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
.

.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there,
she once was a true love of mine. . .
.

ok, I love this song!! A real favorite of mine when I was just a girl. (as opposed to whatever it is I am now)

You have wonderful taste in music, ILTV! :-)

It's refreshing to read the words, without the melody. Sometimes I take lyrics for granted.

Thank you :-)
