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 thread nor needlework in it
Then she shall be a true love of mine
Tell her to wash it in yonder well
Savoury, sage, rosemary and thyme
Where water ne'er sprung nor a drop of rain fell
Then she shall be a true love of mine
Tell her to plough me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the salt water and the sea strand
Then she shall be a true love of mine
Tell her to plough it with one ram's horn
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And to sow it all over with one peppercorn
Then she shall be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And tie it all up with a tomtit's feather
Then she shall be a true love of mine
Tell her to carry it all in a sack
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And carry it home on a butterfly's back.
Then she shall be a true love of mine
