SCARBOROUGH FAIR (LIVE)
STEVE SIMON  DEC-1975
 

Original




 
VERSE1
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
 
VERSE2
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 of 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
 
VERSE3
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 grave with silvery tears
Between the saltwater and the sea strands
A soldier cleans and polishes a gun
Then she'll be a true love of mine
 
VERSE4
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
Generals order their soldiers to kill
And 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
