Lyrics of Scarborough fair/canticle - simon & garfunkel

(the song is repeated twice. it's
The album track played twice in a row with a string and flute interlude
Between the two.)
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
(on the side of a hill
In the deep forest green)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(tracing a sparrow on
Snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework
(blankets and bedclothes
The child of the mountain)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
(sleeps unaware of the
Clarion call)
Tell her to find me an acre of land
(on the side of a hill,
A sprinkling of leaves)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(washes the ground with
So many tears)
Between the salt water and the sea
Strand
(a soldier cleans and
Polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it in a sickle of
Leather
(war bellows, blazing
In scarlet battalions)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(generals order their
Soldiers to kill)
And to gather it all in a bunch of
Heather
(and to fight for a
Cause they've long ago forgotten)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
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
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
(on the side of a hill
In the deep forest green)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(tracing a sparrow on
Snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework
(blankets and bedclothes
The child of the mountain)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
(sleeps unaware of the
Clarion call)
Tell her to find me an acre of land
(on the side of a hill,
A sprinkling of leaves)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(washes the ground with
So many tears)
Between the salt water and the sea
Strand
(a soldier cleans and
Polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
Tell her to reap it in a sickle of
Leather
(war bellows, blazing
In scarlet battalions)
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(generals order their
Soldiers to kill)
And to gather it all in a bunch of
Heather
(and to fight for a
Cause they've long ago forgotten)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
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
