Gregorian: Scarborough Fair Lyrics

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

Tell her to buy me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the salt water and the sea strands
Then he shall be a true love of mine.

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without any stiching nor needle work
Then she shall be a true love of mine.

Tell her to wash it in yonder dry well
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Where no water's sprung, nor drop of rain fell,
Then she shall be a true love of mine.

Tell her to hang it on yonder sharp thorn
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Which never bor blossemed since Adam was born,
Then she shall be a true love of mine.

I took that message to Scarborough fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And that lady answered him fair for fair,
then He shall be a true love of mine.



Tell him to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And bind it all in a bunch of heather
Then he shall be a true love of mine.

Tell him to put in a bottomless sack
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And send it to me on a butterfly's back,
Then she shall be a true love of mine.
