SCARBOROUGH FAIR / CANTICLE


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

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
[On the side of a hill in the deep forest green]
,22e91718!2211422lee16r
Parsley, sage, rosemary & 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]
Parsely, sage, rosemary, & thyme
[Washes the grave with silvery 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]
Parsely, 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
