(P. Simon/A. Garfunkel)
|
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.
|
|
On the side of a hill in the deep forest green.
|
Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested brown.
|
Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain
|
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.
|
|
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt:
|
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
|
Without no seams nor needle work,
|
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
|
|
On the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves.
|
Washes the grave with silvery tears.
|
A soldier cleans and polishes a gun.
|
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.
|
|
Tell her to find me an acre of land:
|
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
|
Between the salt water and the sea strand,
|
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
|
|
War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions.
|
General order their soldiers to kill.
|
And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten.
|
|
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather:
|
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
|
And gather it all in a bunch of heather,
|
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
