Scarborough Fair (1966)

Scarborough Fair (Canticle)(by Simon & Garfunkel)


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.
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams, nor needlework
(Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains)
Then she’ll be a true love of mine.
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)

Tell her to find me an acre of land
(On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and 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 she’ll be a true love of mine.

Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
(War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And to 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.

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.
