Scarborough Fair

Are you going to Scarborough Fair,

Parsley,sage¹,rosemary and thyme,

Remember me to one who lives there,

She once was a true love of mine.

Tell him to make me a cambric shirt,

(Oh the side of a hill in the deep forest green),

Parsley,sage,rosemary and thyme,

(Tracing of sparrow on the snow crested² brown),

Without no seams nor needle work,

(Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain),

Then she'll be ture love of mine,

(Sleeps unaware³ of the clarion⁴ call).

Tell him to find me an acre of land,

(On the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves),

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,

(Washes the grave with silvery tears),

Between the salt water and the sea strand⁵,

(A soldier cleans and publishes a gun),

Then she'll be a true love of mine.

Tell him to reap it with a sickle⁶ of leather,

(War bells blazing in scarlet⁷ battalion),

Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,

(Generals order their soldiers to kill),

And gather it all in a bunch of heather,

(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten),

Then she'll be a true love of mine.
