Poularized by Art Garfunkel Are you going to Scarborough fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Remember me to one that lives there For once she was a true love of mine Am - - / / G - - / Am - - / C - - / Am - - / D - - / Em - - / / Am - - / C - - / > - - / G - - / Am - - / G - - / Em - - / Am - - // ( Am - - / /) Tell her to make me a cambric shirt Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Without any seam or fine needlework And then she'll be a true love of mine Tell her to wash it in yonder dry well Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme When water ne'er sprung nor drop of rain fell And then she'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 O will you find me an acre of land Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Between the sea foam and the salt sea sand Or never be a true love of mine O will you plough it with a ram's horn Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme And sow it all over with one peppercorn? And then she'll be a true love of mine O will you reap it with a sickle of leather Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme And tie it all up with a peacock's feather? And then she'll be a true love of mine And when you are done and finished your work Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme Then come to me for your cambric shirt And you shall be a true love of mine on Simon Garfunkel "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme", on Ewan MacColl "Matching Sons", on Leo Kretzner and Jay Leibowitz "Dulcimer Fair", John Renbourn "Lady and the Unicorn" and recorded by Martin Carthy |
