Scarborough Fair Lyrics by Marianne Faithfull

Scarborough Fair Lyrics

    Have you been to scarborough fair
    Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
    Remember me to one that lives there
    For once she once was a true lover of mine.

    Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
    Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
    One with no seams, of fine needlework
    And then she'll be a true lover of mine.

    Tell her to dry it 'pon yonder thorn
    Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
    That never bore fruit since adam was born
    And then she'll be a true lover of mine.

    Ah, can you find me an acre of land
    Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
    Between the salt sea and the sea sand
    Or never be a true lover of mine.

    And can you plough it with a sheep's horn
    Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
    And sow it all over with one peppercorn
    Or never be a true lover of mine.

    And when you have done and finished your work
    Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
    Then come to me for your cambric shirt
    And then you'll be a true lover of mine.
