Scarborough Fair

1. Are you going to Scarborough fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and Thyme,
Remeber me to one who lives there,
For she once was atrue love of mine.

2. 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.

3. Tell her to wash it in yonder dry well
Parsley, sage, rosemary and Thyme,
Where water ne'er sprung nor drop of rain fell
And then she'll be a true love of mine.

4. 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.

5. O will you find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and Thyme,
Between the sea foam an the sea sand
Or never be a true love of mine.

6. Oh, will you plough it with a lamb's horn
Parsley, sage, rosemary and Thyme,
And sow it all over with one peppercorn
Or never be a true love of mine.

7. And when you have done and finished your work
Parsley, sage, rosemary and Thyme, And you shall be a true love of mine.
