Scarborough Fair, or, The Lover's Promise

(Her)
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
Always he'll be a true love of mine

Tell him I've made him a magical shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without any seam or needlework
Always he'll be a true love of mine

(Him)
Tell her she's found me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the salt water and sea strand
That makes her a true love of mine

Tell her she's plowed it with just a goat's horn
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
She's sown in all over with one grain of corn
Yes, she is a true love of mine
And her daughter forever a daughter of mine

(Together)
Are you going to Scarbourgh Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember us to all who live there
Ours will be a true love for all tiime
