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.
parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme, without any seam or 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. Which never sprung water nor rain ever fell,
And then she'll be a true love of mine.
Have you been to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. Remember me from one who lives there,
For she once was a true love of mine Ask him to find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. Between the salt water and the sea strand,
For then he'll be a true love of mine.
Ask him to plow it with a lamb's horn.
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. And sow it all over with one peppercorn,
For then he'll be a true love of mine.
